I have an ACSI hard disk image with Peter Putnik's games. It is ~6.5GB in size and has 14 partitions. Under MiSTeryNano I can see only the first 5 partitions and the reported disk size is 2.5GB (2579MB).

Which TOS you used? Improved or regular? I used Peter images with improved TOS and it works for me. SD initialization is quite slow and after loading requires soft restart.

The SD card is using a FAT file system which only supports files up to 2 GB. I haven't checked what exfat supports.

Does your PC actually see the full size of the file when stored on SD card?

Another aspect of the ppera drivers and images is that they are closed source and have to be paid for. Thus I don't have access to them and especially cannot debug problems with them easily.

The image contains multiple 512MB partitions, but only the first 5 are visible, and PP HD Driver sees only 2579MB space on a hard disk. The problem is that the ACSI disk image size seems to have been truncated to 2579MB.

I've been using a standard TOS 2.06, the same one I'm using on my real STe and STEEM.

ExFAT has no reasonable size limitations (128PiB).
