There does not appear to be a way to specify this using the AWS Tookit for Visual Studio.
Since there is a hard limit 200 of resources, its seems there is no way to deploy an application using the toolkit with more than 200 resources.
To reproduce
Specify A.yaml to use in aws-lambda-tools-defaults.json
In A.yaml, reference B.yaml locally, using a resource of type: AWS::Serverless::Application
Issue: There appears to be no way deploy a nested application
Using a nested local application referenced in the template as documented here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverless-application-model/latest/developerguide/serverless-sam-template-nested-applications.html requires the "CAPABILITY_AUTO_EXPAND" capability to be specified as documented here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/serverlessrepo/latest/devguide/acknowledging-application-capabilities.html
