I was going by T91053 where it was recommended that all the files are in a single archive, and that maximal upload size is 250MB.

CC-ing @hoo, the Master of Server-Side Upload.

Started downloading the file, but don't have the time to do the upload now. Will do that later today (hopefully).

I've uploaded two of the files, but aborted the script then because I apparently didn't call it with --comment-ext. I'll continue the uploads tomorrow (but not now, as one of the files is locked as I aborted the script, thus I can't start another attempt to upload it immediately).

Finished the upload now.

The file format was fine this time, yes. I can't say anything regarding the max. file size that one can actually upload, but I know that several people struggle with files well below 1GiB.
