My understanding is that packages over 5MB are only allowed under exceptional circumstances. You would need to include a note in your submission explaining why it is over 5 MB. If it is not accepted, then the reason provided is not sufficient. I believe that the CRAN guidelines actually state this, and there may even be Stack Exchange cases related to this, as well.
Not sure about how long to wait for a response, but since the CRAN team is made up of volunteers who have plenty of other things on their plates, I always interpret a lack of response as meaning that I missed something obvious.
