Style option MaxWindowSize was added in 2.3.3, it is not available in
2.2.5.

You may use (don't forget 'p' if you want size in pixels):
Style "*" MaxWindowSize 800p 500p
But this does not prevent any window to overlap FvwmButtons.
Or another (almost the same) solution is to give parameters to Maximize:
Maximize 800p 500p
Since your FvwmButtons is at the top, there is no acceptable solution for
you in the latest version. If it was at the bottom, the solutions with
limitting a size above would be ok for you.
You may highly reduce chances of overlapping by having your FvwmButtons
some layers up:
Style FvwmButtons StaysOnTop
Style "*" MinOverlapPlacement
I think fvwm-ewmh patch at
http://fvwm-ewmh.sourcefourge.net/ enables to
define a working area, something that you want, but I don't know for sure.
