I can't answer to your question about simfs size limit (or may it be a 
quota limit ? Try without quota at all, i.e. without the "SIZELIMIT" 
option in $CTID.conf file...), but you certainly could overcome any size 
limit on the container root by setting some secondary mount points below 
the container tree, either bind mounts or plain device mounts. The 
/etc/vz/conf/$CTID.mount file is meant for this purpose.

Note that this impacts ability to "vzmigrate" your container, unless you 
rewrite a vzmigrate-like script with ability to migrate secondary mount 
points, or unless the mounted device is also available on the target 
host under the same name...
