The document is not up to date as these attributes were added later, but I do have the following information:
u8MaxFrameRetries is the number of retry attempts if a frame transmission is not acknowledged. So if u8MaxFrameRetries = 2, the frame will be retransmitted up to 2 times (hence 3 transmits in total).
u16MaxTotalFrameTxTime is the time that the device will stay in RX waiting for a frame when it expects one, e.g. after a data request where the acknowledge has indicated that a frame is pending. The value should be determined from the values of minBE, maxBE and maxCSMAbackoffs using a slightly complicated formula that is in the 802.15.4 spec (for 802.15.4-2011 it is in section 6.4.3, but in any version just search for macMaxFrameTotalWaitTime).
The default value is correct for the defaults of the other values.
Note: There are 2 MAC stacks released in the JN5169 SDK. The full MAC is a complete implementation of all the functionality in the 15.4 specification. We also release the MiniMac that is used in the Zigbee applications as it is a much smaller implementation and only includes the functionality required by Zigbee and has a smaller footprint of both flash and RAM. In the MiniMac implementation, this PIB variable changed name to u16MaxFrameTotalWaitTime to better match the name used by the 15.4 specification.
