If the segment isn't loaded, then it's size can't matter any? If it is loaded, and it goes onto a machine with a finite size, then the loader can (should) complain if it can't fit, and/or the linker can know that size, as it is a fixed finite size. The size would usually be part of a board support package and can include a memory segment with that size.
