maximum size of new bitmat is under 2gb

In vb.net, I can make a new bitmap as:

Dim joinedImg As New Bitmap(23000,23000)

It is under 2gb and when I tried to make larger than this, it throws an error as:

"An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in System.Drawing.dll

Additional information: Parameter is not valid."

Can I create a bigger bitmap? Is there any other way to do this?

Thank you.
