Answer 1

Did you try:

stsadm -o setproperty -propertyname max-template-document-size -propertyvalue 100000000

That's for 100 MB limit.

Answer 2

You can also backup the library and restore it at a different location. See granular backup and restore.

There is also a codeplex tool to help you. Content Deployment Wizard
