All memory map APIs support moveable “windows” or views into files that are much larger than either physical memory or the virtual address space.
I’ve seen otherwise competent developers use compile time flags to bypass memmap on 32-bit systems even though this always worked! I dealt with database engines in the 1990s that used memmap for files tens of gigabytes in size.
