Maximum displacement:
When you convert the runway into a helipad
Seriously, I know of a runway where one end is displaced by 551m and the other end is displaced by 426m

If you mean for a temporary displaced threshold then for a non ILS approach it's 3500ft (1067m). Any greater than that and we require specific tailored charts. As for a normal displaced threshold I'm not aware of any limits.

I know of one in UK with 540m and 640m permanent displacements at either end. Not sure if there is a maximum. Presumably as long as the lighting/markings meet the requirements for the landing threshold position then there is no maximum length.
