Largest-Scale Ligation (Help)

Hi, do people know what the largest ligation could be (both
theoretically and practically)? As far as I know, those that
have been used for library constructions go up to a complexity
limit of 10^7. Now I am wondering whether there is actually a
practical limit to the number of different sequences one can
handle in a single ligation reaction. Also, I would like to
know the linear range (of insert/vector concentration) within
which one could get to increase the complexity. (I have a
pool of degeneracy of 10^9 that I wish to handle, but I don't
think I will get to do 100 ligations or such.)
All opinions, experience, and advice are highly appreciated.
Many thanks!
