array-dimension-limit is for general arrays.

The error message
*** - string too long: desired length 4194304 exceeds the supported maximum length
comes from this limit:

#ifdef TYPECODES
  #define stringsize_limit_1  ((uintL)(bit(intLsize-6)-1))
#else
  #define stringsize_limit_1  ((uintL)(bit(intLsize-10)-1))
#endif

The smaller of these limits is 2^22-1, that is, > 4 millions.
This is a good compromise of space (and thus speed) for functionality.
If you need larger data structures, use arrays of arrays or arrays of strings.
