No. I have larger caches here. Some others have caches in the TB range.

Only "cache_dir coss" specifically are known to have maximum size issues
due to the format design. And not handle large files.

There are some related issues known;

 You might need Squid built with --enable-large-files to get a 64-bit
build if you intend to pass entire DVDs through Squid.

 Squid-2 has issues with handling of very large individual files being
somewhat slow.

AUFS on Linux, or DiskD on *BSD should have no problem with that size.
Just make sure there is enough RAM in use for a mem-cache and the file
indexes.
