Maybe by patching or rewriting cpio. :-)
>From "man cpio", the BUGS section contains:
The cpio archive formats cannot support files
over 4 gigabytes, except for the ``odc'' variant,
which can support files up to 8 gigabytes.
And cpio has a -c option (equals --format odc), maybe
you can hand this over from pax?
