It's mainly a FW limitation.

Tracking larger address space than 2^42 might take a lot of time in FW 
to allocate the required resources which might end-up in command 
timeout, etc.

More ranges can help only if the total address space of the given ranges 
is < 2^42.

So, if there are some areas that don't require tracking (why?), breaking 
into more ranges with smaller total size can help.
