Depending on the specific model of iPad, you may be able to either AirDrop the photos or enable iCloud Photo library directly.

The iPad's storage space will determine how many photos you can download to it, but it will not stop iCloud from trying to sync if its turned on. If will just sycn as many photos as it can fit in the free space.
