What is the maximum size of a read/write request? E.g. how much data can

I do not think there is a protocol limitation.
According to Paul, there is a kernel limitation on how much it will
in practice use, but I am not sure what that is nor whether it
in practice applies if something unconventional (e.g. a hypervisor)
is talking direct to the block layer.
nbd-server is written to handle arbitrary length requests (ok, I
have not checked operations longer than 2^31 bytes).
And can this be limited using a nbd-client command-line setting and/or
nbd protocol handshake?
Not currently.
