Is there a limitation how large files you can copy paste via RDP (Remote Desktop) in Windows? Is it possible to copy-paste e.g 4 GB files through RDP?

According to Microsoft, copying files via Remote Desktop Services or Terminal Services with sizes in excess of 2GB is not supported:

You could use something like 7-zip to make a split archive, say 4 x 1GB files, then these can be copied across individually and the original file extracted at the other end.
