What block size to use in vmware datastore

If I were to create a new datastore on a newly presented LUN and make the block size 1 MB what would happen if I expanded the VMDK larger than 256 GB? It's saying that's the largest file, so would it not allow me to expand beyond that or would it create a second VMDK and allow the guest OS to have a bigger volume?
