Some modern game engines use MegaTextures to enhance/describe the 3D environment, they are easily this kind of size (first iterations were 32'000 by 32'000, they're now up to 128k in size).  The engine would use paging to manage memory consumption though...

But from a reportlab perspective, it must be quite the PDF indeed!

I'm just curious:
WHY do you try to generate such a huge² image?
I mean, practically every image viewer program would fail with OutOfMemory if a user wants to look at this image.
Why don't you just keep the SVG?

Just to demonstrate the dimension:
Say, a colour laser printer uses 600 dpi (which is good enough for photos).
Then printing your image in this natural dpi resolution would result in a 4.2 m x 4.2 m paper...
I really cannot imagine a use-case...
