Of course BMP is a very bad choice as output format for POV-Ray but it 
is unlikely that you run into any format specific limit.  The size limit 
of BMP is probably even higher than 65535x65535.  You will however run 
into trouble if your OS does not support very large files (the above 
size with 24bpp, uncompressed is already 12 GB)

Using PNG of PPM should be fine for all image sizes you might seriously 
want to render (but as said subject to the OS/file system capabilities).
