Probably - but the limit  is much larger than any disk drive/raid array you
could ever afford.

It shouldn't make much difference, FFSv1 is limited to 2^31 disk
fragments - but both are limited to 2^31 (maybe 2^32) sectors because
of limitations of the NetBSD disklabel.

If you intend filling the filesystem with large files, make sure you
reduce the number of inodes in the filesystem.  By default they take
a considerable % of the space.  You will also benefit from using a
large block/fragment size - but don't use 64k if you need the raid
to be bootable.
