Exclude large files from tape backup in Backup Exex 12.5

Every now and then CPS messes up with small files and creates monster 260+ gig files out of 6kb files. I'm actively monitoring my server and correcting these file errors as they occur. However sometimes I don't catch one and they end up getting pushed up to my tape backup. I backup my CPS data to tape nightly.

I know I can exclude file types from my backup with the exclusion list. Is it possible to exclude 200+ gig files as well? I will never have a need to backup real 200+ gig files at this point so setting a file filter would be awesome. Anyone have any suggestions for something like this?

Thanks!!!
