The function pg_logical_emit_message (callable with REPLICATION
permissions from SQL) allows you to emit records of arbitrary length <
2GB - 2B (for now), which should be enough.
Other than that, you could try to generate 16MB of subtransaction IDs;
the commit record would contain all subxids and thus be at least 16MB
in size.
