There is no more such a limit.

Kernel documentation ext2.txt says :

##########
Filesystem block size:     1kB        2kB        4kB        8kB

File size limit:          16GB      256GB     2048GB     2048GB
Filesystem size limit:  2047GB     8192GB    16384GB    32768GB
##########


I've block size off 4kB, like most.
