So you're saying that the text at the end of a line showing the cur,
ave, min, max is not showing all the max text?

Which orcallator.se and orcallator.cfg are you using?

Which plot is having problems?

For the offending plot, change or add a

summary_format

option to the plot.  From Orca's manual page:

    summary_format *format*
        The summary_format option specifies the format for the summary
        values, as passed to the RRDtool GPRINT function. In the format
        string there should be a '%lf' or '%le' marker in the place where
        the number should be printed.

        If an additional '%s' is found AFTER the marker, the value will be
        scaled and an appropriate SI magnitude unit will be printed in place
        of the '%s' marker. The scaling will take the base of the plot into
        consideration.

        If a '%S' is used instead of a '%s', then instead of calculating the
        appropriate SI magnitude unit for this value, the previously
        calculated SI magnitude unit will be used. This is useful if you
        want all the values in a PRINT statement to have the same SI
        magnitude unit. If there was no previous SI magnitude calculation
        made, then '%S' behaves like a '%s', unless the value is 0, in which
        case it does not remember a SI magnitude unit and a SI magnitude
        unit will only be calculated when the next '%s' is seen or the next
        '%S' for a non-zero value.

        The same format is used for each number within a single summary
        line, but you can specify multiple summary_format options if there
        are multiple plots on the graph:

          plot {
          source                things
          data                  some
          data                  other
          data                  things
          data                  something_else
          summary_format        %.0lf
          summary_format        %4.1f %s
          color                 0000ff
          color                 ff0000
          }

        If there are no summary format specifiers, then the default format
        of '%9.3lf %S' will be used for all of the data summary lines.

        If at least one summary_format is specified and there are more
        data's than summary_format's, then the last specified summary_format
        will be used for all of the data summary lines that were not given a
        summary_format. In the example above, there are four data's and only
        two summary_format's. The format '%4.1f %s' will be used for the
        `things' and `something_else' data summary lines.

Best,
Blair
