Nope...I have many that are larger without issue.  SQFIX and GOLDED DOS
versions start misbehaving when areas hit 5400 msgs or so here, though, so
I cap mine at 5000.  If they go over and break, then SQFIX32 might
work...but not always.  Even with 5K caps, here's my top 5:

ALLFIX_F SQD    28,155,429  07-29-04  3:44a
WEATHER  SQD    27,625,285  07-29-04  3:43a
U-F1O4Q  SQD    20,507,829  07-29-04  4:09a
U-RV6BX  SQD    15,777,708  07-29-04  4:09a
U-RVG8O  SQD    15,584,469  07-29-04  3:39a

If you don't already have SQPACK in a regular maintenance routine (daily
here), it is probably a good idea to run it both before and after your
manual cleanup activity, to insure the integrity of the area.  There were
probably some pointers that were confused before you started (in the .sqi),
which got really confused by the time you were done.
