Not really. There is the maximum size that an oracle file can reach, usually 32G. An interesting experiment would be to create an undo bigfile tablespace like this:

SQL> create bigfile undo tablespace undotbs;

Tablespace created.

That would allow the file to be limited only by the file system. Being a control freak and wanting to know who and why is consuming the UNDO space, I've never done that. You need version 10g or newer for the bigfile tablespaces.
