No.

AFAIK Windows does have a size limit on command-line, and a ridiculously small one at that
that can be changed via some registry key IIRC.

Use slave mode or create a temporary playlist file and load it via -playlist (take
care not to create any race conditions or security holes - though that
is not specific to MPlayer and applies to all cases where you create
some temporary file).
