It might be best to post this topic on the http://v5.rhino3d.com/ forum where one of the McNeel  v5 developers can address it.

Obviously the size depends on the complexity of the surfaces. My biggest file yet has about 6000 surfaces and I can't render in V4 because the render mesh will blow the 4GB limit.

You probably have 4 sided planar surfaces. With about 90.000 objects, even small changes in object size will blow the whole structure up. Probably there are some additional fields in R5 to represent the new light extrusions. But as Danny said, the developers surely will know.
