Ok I found this in the compiler, It seems to indicate that no single 
block of code can be larger than 32k when compiled?

void CODE_jump_length(ushort src, ushort dst)
{
    if (src >= (cur_func->ncode - 1))
        return;

    int diff = (int)dst - (int)src;

    if (diff < -32768 || diff > 32767)
        THROW("Jump is too far");

    if (cur_func->code[src] == C_BREAK)
        cur_func->code[src + 2] = (short)(diff - 3); //dst - (src + 2) - 1;
    else if (cur_func->code[src] == C_NOP)
        cur_func->code[src] = (short)diff; //dst - src;
    else
        cur_func->code[src + 1] = (short)(diff - 2); //dst - (src + 1) - 1;
}

I am guessing there is no work around for this?
