   **Is your feature request related to a problem or challenge? Please describe 
what you are trying to do.**
   - Related to https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/issues/9898
   
   As part of https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/9872, I changed 
FixedSizeBinaryArray to prevent any FixedSizedBinaryArrays from being 
constructed where the offset calculation could overflow
   
   However, this also prevents the code from constructing valid 
FixedSizeBinaryArrays (over 2GB).
   
   I made the change in https://github.com/apache/arrow-rs/pull/9872 so it was 
easy to review for correctness and we could easily backport it
   
   **Describe the solution you'd like**
   I would like to allow very large FixedSizeBinaryArrays and ensure the offset 
calculations will not overflow
