IIUC in his example, only the ownership of the selection needs to be
transferred, not the selection itself, so the size of the selection
shouldn't matter.
Unless he has some extra software (like some clipboard applets) that
systematically keeps takes a copy of those things, tho I don't remember
hearing of a case where the PRIMARY was (mis)handled this way (contrary
to the CLIPBOARD selection, where there've been many such mishandling
by naive applets).
