for dynamic PHP-pages?)

This could be the issue right here. In Apache, %b is "the size of the object returned to the client, not including the response headers." I don't know if this is calculated from the actual bytes transferred or the Content-Length header sent with the object. There are two possiblities here. If the Content-Length header is used, then perhaps you are not setting it in your PHP files. More likely, if the actual size of the data _sent_ to the client is used, then it's very likely that many of your visitors are clicking on a large file and then cancelling the download. So they actually only transfer say 300MB of the file before they give up or lose connection. This gets logged instead of the 5GB image size you are expecting.

You could probably do some tests with this fairly easily and find out what's written to your logs.
