Hello;
Since I started using Firebird 5.0.3, I found 3 cases, 3 different databases (ODS 13.0), creating a big (4GB) segments for async replication. I never saw that in more than two years doing replication for the same databases using Firebird 4. Please see the image:

On the 3 cases, the segment went to exactly that size.
Best Regards.
