One of my packages needs a look-up table of pre-calculated
numbers in the data directory.

What is the largest size matrix that would be an acceptable datafile in
an R package?

Do you need the entire lookup table in memory at once?  If not, you
could use RSQLite and put the data there.  Then you would be limited
by file size rather than RAM.
