max_ranges controls the number of accepted Range values in a single
request. It is unrelated to multiple requests.

So it probably is working for its intended purpose.

I think that it can't be done reliably; but if unreliable is good enough,
then you might be able to use limit_conn with limit_conn_zone based
on the browser (whatever combination of $remote_ip, $http_user_agent,
your chosen $cookie_X, and any other variables you think is good enough)
and the part of the request that corresponds to the file ($request_uri,
$uri, $args, your chosen $arg_X -- whatever matches your expectations).

"unreliable" there means "you probably won't block a determined unwanted
user; and you probably will block some wanted users; but you probably
will block the bulk of casual unwanted users". Only you can decide what
balance is correct for you.

If you need access control, use access control -- only allow authenticated
users and actively manage the ones who don't do what you want.
