there's no live specific limit.

depending on what filesystem you choose for the binary image, you can
hit maxfilesize or maxfilesystemsize (e.g. with iso or fat quite early),
with real filesystems (ext4) you shouldn't hit any limit with the
current available usb stick sizes at all.

(note that choosing ext4 as a binary fs is not support out of the box
yet, there's still missing the automatic handling of extlinux as
bootloader instead of syslinux).
