Backport 1/1 commits from #149535 on behalf of @iskettaneh.


This test has a long history of flakes. The main reason is that at the first couple of minutes of the test, there many splits could happen because of the init phase of the workload increases the CPU and it has many inserts. However, for the remainder of the test, the workload is mostly scans, and that shouldn't cause many splits.

This commit increases the maximumRanges allowed by 2. We ~recently increased it to
the current number and saw almost now flakes, so increasing it by 2 should hopefully
be enough.

In the future, if we see many flakes of this nature. I think we should ignore the splits that happen in the first 2 minutes of the test, and focus on the fact that the splits in the remainder of the test are minimal.

Fixes: #149516

Release Note: None

Thanks for opening a backport.

Before merging, please confirm that the change does not break backwards compatibility and otherwise complies with the backport policy. Include a brief release justification in the PR description explaining why the backport is appropriate. All backports must be reviewed by the TL for the owning area. While the stricter LTS policy does not yet apply, please exercise judgment and consider gating non-critical changes behind a disabled-by-default feature flag when appropriate.
