No, this is not what you were informed about.

The width and height of the files in pixels was asked for because the
error message on export was very specifically pointing that out to be an
issue.

A test performed to check if this size might not matter ("Does not seem
to matter (it is any tif file)"), with a much smaller file (in terms of
width and height, in pixels), did prove that you can export such files -
so it is no problem with e.g. libtiff that would prevent you from
exporting anything.

We're now at "Large files can't be printed or exported to TIFF". Note
that these two actions do not necessarily have to be connected.
