Well... the problem is when merges kick off. You could have N segments that each are below the limit, but when a merge runs the merged segment would try to exceed the limit, because you can't easily predict how many unique terms the merged segment will have. I guess you could guarantee safety by never allowing the sum of the unique term count across all segments to exceed 2^31-1, but that may be a too-restrictive safety margin.
