There are defaults if nothing is specified in sendmail.mc.
In RedHat derivatives there is the following;
dnl define(`confQUEUE_LA', `12')dnl
dnl define(`confREFUSE_LA',`18')dnl
But as you found the defaults are queue_la 8 and refuse_la 12.
That is buried deep in the macros that generate the cf files.
