How big is huge? To some degree it depends on how broadcast "chatty" the protocols used are - but there's also the matter of having a size which makes it possible to troubleshoot. Personally I'd prefer an upper limit of a few hundred computers.
And whatever you do, don't be like one med school and build a flat net so big that spanning tree won't converge. ;)
by the time you throw trill and vpls into the mix it may be a common or pseudo-common broadcast domain but it's not flat.
