Currently, the length of a sequence, in memory or in EDS,
must fit in a 32-bit unsigned number (i.e. 4Gb maximum).

Before you hit that limit, you'll hit the 4Gb limit on the
total size of a .edb file. In EDS, a sequence requires
at least one byte per element, maybe more if you use
large integers or floating-point numbers.

Both the 4Gb limit on sequence length, and 
the 4Gb limit on EDS database size could be
removed eventually, without breaking any code.
