Set up log rotation to rotate the log more frequently if needed. logrotate
is a good tool for doing this.

OS limitations on applications compiled using the standard 32-bit file I/O
interface.
On 32-bit OS:es applications need to be specifically designed to work on
larger files. Most of the standard shell file management tools such as dd
etc have been redesigned to support this.

Both yes and no. It can be compiled with the largefile option, but doing
so changes many things and Squid has not been verified in such
configuration (and is even known to cause problems for some people).
