This might be pre-coffee math, but I think we are limited to approximately
2000 images because an ArrowBuf only holds up-to 2 billion bytes [1].
While we have plenty of room for the offsets, we quickly run out of
contiguous data storage space. For LargeString and LargeBinary this could
be fixed by changing ArrowBuf.

LargeArray faces the same problem only it applies to its child vectors.
Supporting LargeArray properly is really what drove the large-scale
interface change.

Rebase would help if possible.

I'll try to get to this in the next few days.
