When new elements get discovered theoretically they tend to be towards the end of the periodic table, why can there not be an element that has 1000 protons, neutrons and electrons ? Or other multiples of each ?

The issue is that most elements past plutonium start decay extremely quickly, where once they are produced, some last seconds-milliseconds on the long end of the scale, such as livermorium (element 116) most stable isotope lasting 53 milliseconds and 118 lasting less than a millisecond before decaying
