I was going to ask why the radius of the Sun's Hill sphere would have to be "assumed", but then I found this calculator to approximate it. Since it involves the masses of two bodies, I guess that a sufficiently massive planet could be in solar orbit at a considerable distance (much greater than I'd thought possible).
