File waw has exceeded maximum size allowed

I need to save the audio tracks, one by one, to perform a process on an external program (iZotope RX11). 
Well, after saving the first three tracks (see the first three at the bottom of the screenshot), I started to detect the "maximum size allowed" error.
I tried to restart Vegas, I also tried to restart the entire computer, however the error persists, in fact, it happens even if I try to save one of the tracks that I had previously saved without encountering errors.
This is very strange, because the files are just over 1 Gb

Can someone explain to me what is happening and how to fix it?

ps

I also have another problem: every time I synchronize multiple audio tracks, when I close and reopen Vegas they, even if slightly, go out of sync, not enough to be perceived by the human ear or detectable in the movements of moving images, but it happens anyway.
What is more urgent and necessary, however, is the first problem.

Wav-format files have inherent size limits... see: https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/size_limits_for_wav_and_aiff_files.html

I normally use wav64 format for longer recordings to get around wav limitations but I don't see that listed as an RX supported format. I do see flac listed... maybe that'll work. Otherwise, consider exporting piecemeal in smaller chunks.

Damn, thanks to Hovard Vigorita, I now understand that the problem was related to the resolution of the waw file. I had saved the first three tracks at 32bit float but "mono", this allowed me to generate a file less than 2 Gb. Instead, I wanted to save the fourth track as stereo, that's why it gave me an error! The file that was generated was "greater" than 2 Gb.
I will solve it by saving the track at 24bit, including the first three.
As if not said, sorry
