It is, by default 4000000. You can load larger files by changing the message to 
soundfiler from:

[read -resize myfile.wav sound(

to

[sound resize 8000000;
read myfile.wav sound(

In short, you resize a table manually to some number of samples (here it's 
8000000) before you load a soundfile into it.
I believe there is an object called soundfileinfo~ or something that gives you 
the length of a soundfile...but I can't remember off the top of my head what 
it's called or where it is in pd-extended

Alternatively, if you don't want to use the soundfile as though it were a table 
(i.e. if you just want to play the file) it's better to use [readsf~]
