For that, you'll need to work on the TeX end.
\edef\STEPS{8}
\dorecurse\STEPS{....}
You can either use \STEPS instead of N everywhere in your code (and be
careful on how TeX code is parsed, i.e., `a := \STEPS 0` will evaluate to
`a := 80`), or use `N := \STEPS;` somewhere in the beginning of each
`\MPpage` (the `N :\ \STEPS` can be hidden behind a macro like
`\initializeAnimation`).
