From my understanding there is no limit for a distance for a destination alternate.

Your reserve fuel is made up of Alternate fuel + Final Reserve Fuel

Alternate Fuel:
Missed approach at destination +
Cruise to +
Approach and landing at alternate

Final Reserve Fuel:
Hold at 1500ft at alternate for 30mins

There is a limit for take off alternate on a twin engine of one hour at single engine cruise speed.
