The new split disk scheme
Capacity Extent size
================================
<=128GB 4GB (increased from 2GB)
>128GB && <2TB Capacity / 32 (so maximum of 32 extents)
>=2TB 2TB
Since your extents are 8GB you will not be able to transport it in FAT32 formatted USB. Could you try formatting your usb to exFAT, to transport this file?
vmware-vdiskmanager 's help description definitely needs to be updated to reflect this.
