The biggest command you can give to bash depends on your system. you can find that out by typing this:

# getconf ARG_MAX

ARG_MAX is a system variable (kernel variable) that tells us the biggest shell command. In my case its

 2,097,152

Thats 2 Million bytes, or 2 MB command. 2 million letter command.
