The reason Red Cross does not set restrictions on donations per event is they want to make sure they can respond adequately to any emergency properly, not just the ones that draw in big dollars. Flooding in Texas brings in a lot of money, but there are other events that go unnoticed daily that the Red Cross provides help for. Funneling funds to single events isn't necessarily the most effective use of their resources and they try to scale them per disaster even if the donations are not coming in.
