Can I allocate more ram than 16GB?

no, but if you have 16 GB of ram yes but it will only be 15GB

 

and if you put more ram then needed, it will be terrable

There are no circumstances I can imagine where you would need to allocate 16G in the launcher. Most packs works perfectly with 2G and large, complicated packs with full HD texture packs will not require more than 4G. Allocating more RAM in the launcher than is required will hinder the performance of your client and your OS.

I want to add a shaders pack and could use the extra ram.

Tell that to my pack that requires more than 16Gb, how far we've come.
