So what could the max size of a file be without losing any detail with
[tabread4~]? Is that the hardcoded 4000000 elements limitation?

This is because of the interpolation. You might do better cutting your
file up and putting it into several different arrays.
If you play at normal speed with [tabread~] (not 4), you hit that
problem anyway at index 16777216, and it's not because of any
interpolation.
However, if you do use [tabread4~] with fractional floats, you hit the
problem at much lower indices, because fractions disappear gradually
first, then odd numbers disappear, etc.
Overall, it's because for a float, the numerator has to be between
8388608 and 16777215, while the denominator (or the multiplier) is a
power of two... so each time you cross a new power of two, you lose half
of the details, as the tiniest steps double in size.
