Well ruby is quite expressive, so you do get quite a long way with a few thousand LoCs. That said, a project I consider large and that had matured over nearly 5 years had (tests + code) not far off 100000 LoC (as measured by rake stats). The ruby 1.9 searches its load path for what it has already loaded is v. slow though, so number of files, dependencies on gems etc. can be more relevant that actual amount of code.
