instead of calling ini_get('max_execution_time') during the cron run to figure out what the $check_links_max_per_cron_run var should be, why not make it a configurable option in the admin?
you could always make a recommendation or initially default the value based upon the ini_get('max_execution_time'), but leave it up to the user to adjust as they see fit...

just an idea.

It was removed from UI for the reason that some people have overloaded their servers and checked toooo many links per cron run. They complained their cron have failed and so on and so on. This is why it has been removed. I'm not a fan of this type of support cases... search the queue.
