Well, you might be able to find someone willing to add support for the format
if you e.g. submit a feature request to FFmpeg...

That's the wrong way of cutting it, like this it might be a bug in your
exporting program.
You should use the large files that fail and then use e.g. dd or some other program
(there should be some GUI ones e.g. for splitting a file so you can burn it in parts
on multiple CDs and often they can split them down to rather small sizes) to
just get the first part of _exactly_ these files.
