4GB is also the size limit for the original wav file format. There is a
newer 64 bit wave file format which can handle large files.

If you are using SoX to concatenate, try using .w64 for the output file
extension, that should trigger SoX to use 64 bit wav format.

sndfile-concat may also do what you want, you could give that a try.
