Which limit is it too big for?

Bulk_import.py should take a large changeset and split it into smaller 
upload chunks that fit inside the API limits.

However if you have a way with more than 2000 nodes or are violating the 
other hard API data limits then bulk_import.py or JOSM won't help you. 
You will need to split your way into multiple smaller ones and then 
connect them with a relation.
