Have you tried some smaller values? That is, 55500000 for example?
And what about trying other size units? Test with mb's...
If you can't get it, use another partition manager to create the partition,
type 169 and that would be ok.

There is no such limit, and note that this *slice* does not hold a single
filesystem. It will hold several *partitions* that can have different sizes.
Think of a bsd slice (it contains a disklabel) like an extended partition.
