Just because it is the library default; the intention is to make php generate sqlite files compatible with other applications that use sqlite.
IIRC, you can happily exceed this "limit", it'll just be slower to access such a row. To be honest, support for blob style data in sqlite 2 and below is pretty crappy; if you're serious about it, I'd suggest upgrading to PHP 5.1 and using PDO SQLITE instead. SQLite 3 (which it uses) actually has a concept of binary data. --Wez.
