Are there any size issues with FAT32.

Yes.

In summary, it's suggested that Microsoft (for whatever reason)
crippled the format program in Windows 2000 and XP, although the
operating systems will happily use formatted partitions larger than
32G.

mkfs.vfat (GNU/Linux) isn't so limited, so I guess you could use
KNOPPIX or something to format it.
