PDF documents for instance can be quite sizeable, is there any reason why I shouldn't set the preview size limit to 100Mb for local files?
To generate a preview the whole file has to be read and parsed. So if you have a directory full of very large files it can be quite slow reading them all, and it would take a lot of memory and cpu time. The "max preview size" tries to give you a way to avoid that.

While this is not about PDF files, only today I was trying to edit a directory containing photos which I scanned in in TIFF format 3 years ago. I was editing the directory to delete photos which were duplicates and/or copies of photos which I was adjusting for flaws/contrast/etc. I am using GNOME 3 (oS 11.4) and the 'default' viewer, through Nautilus, Eye of Gnome to view and then delete/keep the images. 3 image files, which I scanned in and had no trouble with at the time, to view/rotate caused Eye of Gnome to suddenly close - it seems that it just couldn't handle the size of the files. The 3 image files were around the 400MB size. (They were 3 or 4 photos scanned in as a set which I then split up into individual photos.) Nautilus is set to 'preview' files less than 4GB big. As I mentioned, I was using Eye of Gnome thru Nautilus, but the same thing happened when I used Eye or Gnome on its own to try and view those files - Eye of Gnome simply just closed down.....
