Swap partition size on x86_64

EL4_u4
kernel 2.6.9-42.0.8.0.1.ELsmp

I am trying to determine if there is a 2 GB limit in the partition size for a swap partition on the x86_64 hardware running the 2.6 kernel.

I currently have a machine with 18 GB ram. Using Oracle's formula for total swap size, I need to have a swap size of 13.5 GB (75% of RAM). I can create 7 partitions of 2 GB each or I can create a 14 GB partition.

What is the best practice?

Thanks
