Yes, osMakeNotecard does not currently police a size limit, so the first limit you hit might be that of a MySQL blob.

However, as assets are immutable, then if you may be saving large files regularly then I would suggest doing it via an 
external mechanism such as via llHTTPRequest to some external server as Jeff outlines.
