Try increasing the memory for pandoc via knitr YAML options:

--
title: "TITLE"
output:
  html_document:
    pandoc_args: [
      "+RTS", "-K64m",
      "-RTS"
    ]
---

you can bump up those #'s IIRC, too, if they don't work at first.

If anyone has any ideas on how to deal with memory issues in the final step of pandoc conversion or can point me to where to look for this I would appreciate it.
