A script can be up to 4 gigs. But "script limits" here isn't refering to 
the size of a script written in the IDE, but rather how many lines a 
script can be if a standalone tries to set one. Without the development 
environment running, a new script can be only 10 lines long.

This is not usually a problem. Almost always, scripts are written during 
development and made into a standalone afterward; it is only rarely that 
a standalone needs to write and set a script on the fly, and the 10-line 
limit in this case can often be worked around in various ways.
