When I did my master's thesis on Vitamin D supplementation the conclusion was that vitamin D testing is wildly inaccurate, and we needed to have studies based on a target level - ideally one based around sub-saharan African community levels.

As for supplementation, sunlight has been estimated at providing up to 20,000IU per day, which I think (not medical advice due to the lack of study), from a mechanistic point of view, suggests an upper limit to daily supplementation.
