Urgently need to make patch for a file that is greater than 2GB, suppose splitting it into several pieces is not a very good idea
If there any way to pass through this limitation?
Thanks.

Other than splitting it, no. This is something that we are looking to add in the future. However, splitting the file into say 500MB chuncks may not be too bad of an idea. It will make the patch creation faster and may actually work better than you think. Worth a try anyhow...
Splitting it into smaller chunks will actually work fairly well, depending on the data. Chances are pretty good that most changes will be locale to each block; you could even try splitting different sizes to see what works better.
I'd recommend going bigger than 500MB though...go as big as you can (should be just under 2 GB, if not then try 1 GB). You want the patch to be able to reuse as many internal data patterns as possible in each part.
