Since we don't print that much every month, it would be silly to wait months before the log file is generated... I know I can change the number but don't know if this is allowed within the CUPS specifications...

Yes, of course.  The only special behavior is for numbers <= 0,
which effectively disables log rotation.

If you are using Linux, "man logrotated".
