James,

I use kdar and what I do is I select DVD 4.7 and then I reduce the size
to 4.0 and it works great. 
Then to restore you just load the last one and select and restore. 

No in relation with the topic of this thread, the maximal file size
depends on three variables:
1. the operating system
2. the file system
3. the tar version.

You can overcome limitation in the file system piping the output. For
example you can tar to stout and redirect to a file and also the
stderr. 

tar -cp -ppPv --posix -f - /home/me/ 2> MeLogFile  > MeTarFile

or :-)

tar --create --preserve-permissions --preserve-order --absolute-names
--verbose --verify --posix -f --to-stdout /home/me 2> MeTarFile.log
MeTarFile.tar

Restoring is the opposite

xf - < MeTarFile

Ciao
