Is it possible to create any supported virtual disk image greater than 2TB? I would like to create a dynamic 3TB disk to test the behavior of an operating system with non-standard hybrid MBR + GPT partitioning.

You can specify a size above 2 TB using the command line. It's not possible to do it from the GUI.

vboxmanage createhd --filename 3TB.vdi --size 3000000 --format VDI --variant Standard
That did the trick. Thanks for the suggestion.
