Total size is unlimited by the file formats (well, you can have at least 32768 polygons, which will let you run up 96 GB of imagery), so you’ll hit limits of virtual memory long before you run out of .pol files in a DSF. So it’s really a function of the graphics card and total memory in the sim, which also depends on what other planes, scenery, plugins and other add-ons you have, as well as global texture-res size.
