A good survey can be found in this article. In short: within approximately the last 5 years, large international collaborations have started to exceed 1000 authors per paper. The largest authorship papers are all LHC papers at present (with 3000+ authors), but other collaborations, particularly in biomedicine, may top that in the future.
