I am not sure exactly what limit is for file size (among other things
it depends on the block size used), but, just as for file system size,
the limit is in the TB-range.
It is most certainly possible to create files larger than 2GB.
If your friend is unable to, he is doing something wrong.
(All of the above applies for both 4.x and 5.x)
