The feeling as I rewritten the MinixFS. In fact, there is no explizit
limitation in the initializer and it seems to work.

But I'm really not sure if there are implicit dependencies in either the
MinixFS itself or the filesystem checker as the source code is very old
and written in days as nobdoy thought about such large partitions.
