  Pretty much only memory size (the number of elements in
a vector, which probably (?) translates to the number of rows,
is limited to 2^31-1, but if you really have more than
2 billion observations you'll probably run out of memory
first ...

?Memory
help("Memory-limits")

  If you give more specifics on the problem (approx.
number of observations and elements per observation, and
what you plan to try to do with them) you may get
more useful feedback about whether what you plan to
do is feasible and/or sensible.
