Prior to Cassandra 0.7, there was a limitation of 2GB on row sizes as the entire row had to fit in memory for compaction. As far as I'm aware, in Cassandra 0.7, the limit has changed to 2^31 (approximately 2 billion) columns.
See http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CassandraLimitations for more details.
