Is there any possibility to set so if under 2MB - open with Browser, and if over 2MB - open with Excel?

One of our users has uploaded several excel files to our Sharepoint 2010 site. <br />

When users try to open these files, they receive the error msg:<br />

What is the limit for opening Excel files via the browser in Sharepoint 2010?<br />
Is there a way to increase the limit? If so, will this cause problems?
