Ever heard of partitioning?

>The only limit is due to the HFS disk format.
>As you go to bigger drives they use bigger block
>sizes. HFS is limited to 65,536 blocks per volume.
>(Just like FAT16 on a PC is limited to 65,636
>clusters.)

>You can partition really large drives to keep each
>volume's block size down. 2 gig is really the largest
>volume you want to use with HFS. Earlier versions
>of HDSC will only let you make 1.9 or 2 gig volumes.
>IIRC later versions allow bigger, but they waste
>a lot of space unless you store only really large
>files.
