The 2^36 sample limit is nearly 4 days of audio at 192kHz. The number
of channels and bits per sample are non-factors.
If you have a question regarding format limitations, first read the
format specification. The answers you're seeking can be found here:

I believe you can do this with Ogg FLAC. The Ogg container manages
the multiple FLAC streams. Theoretically, we'll never see limit
issues.
why not? :)
If I encode 192 kHz sound @ 24 bit for some days (WAV file) and I
encode it to FLAC, I think you can have a very big file and 1.5 TB is
reached very quickly.
And in the future audio will even get bigger, when used for HD-DVD en
Blu-ray media and 5.1 channels is considered the 'minimum' setting for
surround sound.
