Currently Liferay is hard coded to only display a delta of 25 from the current page in the page iterator drop down. So if the user is on page 1, pages 1-26 will be available, if the user is on page 51, pages 26-76 is available. Rather than being a hard coded value, the user or admin should be able to change this delta value.
