Default for size limit on large objects

Yes. It's set in swift/common/constraints.py

However, I wouldn't recommend changing it too much (specifically making it any bigger). The overall cluster balance is based, in part, on the size of that constant. Increasing it can cause your cluster to be more out of balance as it gets larger, and therefore you will make less efficient use of your available storage. Increasing the constant will make your cluster fill up more quickly.
