That is, in fact, exactly what you need to do. MaxCLL is the brightest pixel in the whole title, and MaxFALL is the brightness of the single brightest frame.

They are not particularly useful values, since one stray pixel or frame can throw off values for a whole movie. Many displays just ignore the metadata for that reason. Dynamic metadata like Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are a lot more useful in practice.
