Basically, if you have 1 followed by 4.05323966 × 10^16 bits, that will be a 4.5TB file but it should take very little space to store the formula that the file is "1 followed by 4.05323966 × 10^16 bits" this is pretty simple to generate.

A 1 byte dummy file could be modified to say it's 10TB etc. I think how it works is they’re dummy files, no actual space, just used to pad.
