tar has no limitation.  Most operating systems do.
You have not mentioned what operating system you are using.

You should, of course, try reading the tar manual.
Assuming you're using the GNU version of tar, the complete manual is
online.  I think you will find Chapter 6 particularly interesting:

http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_chapter/tar_6.html#SEC100

Many of the options described here also work for other versions of tar.
