I have another case of blob data maybe upwards of 200MB but I'd store that in chunks just to enable better restart capabilities when pushing/pulling to a mobile device as that would need to restart a previously aborted transmission.

For SqueakSource3, currently all mcz files are stored in the stone (for whatever reason).
The only thing to look out for I encountered was to avoid constant 'kind-change', 
like repeated #asString -> #asByteArray. We had that and this costs memory and time.
  Apart from that I cannot remember problem regarding the mcz's size. However, the biggest
did not exceed 8MB or so.
