The expansion of space is indeed limited by the speed of light. Space itself is expanding, which is why a 14 billion year-old universe can be more than 28 billion years across. But if a portion of space is receding (expanding) from another area at a speed greater than the speed of light, then it effectively disappears from that universe. No light from it can reach the areas from which is expanding, nor can any light from those areas reach it. It has effectively left the unverse. The speed of light does define the limit of the of the universe.
