Couple of thoughts:
I'm not a Blojsom user, but shouldn't you be able to set the number of
posts that Blojsom puts in the feed? I see a Blojsom blog at
http://www.entropy.ch/blog/?flavor=rss that seems to spit out all the
entries as Atom, RSS 2.0, RSS, etc.
Also, the Blojsom export pushes out a package of XML. You could use
XSLT to convert to RSS:
