Is there a limit to the UM2 firmware, with respect to the heated printing plate?

it should not.. perhaps you have an old heating plate i can't speak for those, but i have 2 UM2's running with the new plate (with the big black connector on the bottom) and they can both achieve 110 degrees celsius..

It also depends on your location; If there is a lot of draft or cold room temperature, your bed won't reach the highest possible temperature.
MCguyvering a enclosure with cardboard already helps quite a bit.

There is a maximum temperature set in Marlin:
https://github.com/Ultimaker/Ultimaker2Marlin/blob/master/Marlin/Configuration.h#L169
#define BED_MAXTEMP 200
However, the bed will not reach more than about 100-110 C easily, unless you build a housing for the printer.
I have a fairly old UM2 and it can reach about 100 C if the room where I keep it is 20 C.
