Err, actually, up to 2^32+7 bytes is ok for WAV [0]. More than
that and you have an invalid file. Many programs will produce
an invalid WAF file if you ask them :-).

[0] A WAV file consists or four bytes 'RIFF' followed by an uint32_t
with the length of the file following the length field. Biggest
number in a uint32_t is 0xffffffff so the file can be that big
plus 8 bytes for 'RIFF' and the length.

Interesting, but it's more like 48-72 hours,
and sometimes as much as 100
hours before recordings start to break.
if you're using WAV and recording 2 channels, this is impossible.
you absolutely cannot record more than 2^31 bytes into a WAV file.
ever, under any circumstances, with any software.
