I don't know.  If I took I wanted to attach a GPS to
every person on earth and delta encode there movements
once a second for their whole lifetime, I could do that
as a single stream on venti (just barely).  On the other
hand, once they died the position data would probably
compress a lot better.

I think 2^63 is a perfectly fine limit for the
forseeable future.  Do you really have files
(or file systems) that big?

The only point of the sentence about the 2^73
hash tree limit was that the maximum depth
of 7 is more than enough.
