We cannot create an image that's greater than 1/2 of RAM (in general) or 1/2 of lowmem (on i386) anyway, but this does not limit the size of RAM of a box you want to suspend. The rest of the RAM contents will be swapped out before suspend. Besides on x86-64 unsigned long is 64-bit, so it's not limited to 4 GB.
