Pretty much anything - you have either a 2 byte or 4 byte unsigned int
to play with in terms of size (for the strips at least, haven't
thought about  tiles). The only restriction is that you need to be
able to represent it with the right one (4 bytes is safer, though
maybe overkill... if you need to save every single byte you can :-)).
The thing is that if you have a 1gig strip then the chances of getting
a viewer that won't die on you are pretty small...
Cheers
