I am not a native English speaker, but shouldn't a subclause that is essential (which is why the comma is not at its place), use "that" instead of "which", i.e. either of the following would be grammatically correct, but the latter does of course not have the correct meaning:
Values that cannot be stored in UInt128
cannot be written as such literals.
Values, which cannot be stored in UInt128
, cannot be written as such literals.

Lose the double negative:
"Only values that can be stored in UInt128
can be written as such literals."
