An exported 16-bit mono WAV at 44100 Hz sample rate takes 5 MB per minute. So 200 minutes is about 1000 MB (about 1 GB). The limit for WAV is 4 GB but you should not go above 2 GB for WAV because older media players or older versions of Windows will not support WAV files greater than 2 GB.

The Manual has some information about file sizes:
