Only the code size is limited.  You can use as much data memory (i.e.
variables and coefficients) as there is memory.   The kit can boot stand
alone out of flash which is fully available to the user without any worry
about destroying a monitor program (like in older EZkits).  There is no
shared resources (i.e. shared with a monitor) to worry about like in the
older ezkits.  There is also internal program memory and data memory as well
as 100Mhz SDRAM (I don't remember how much now.)   There are about 25
example programs in both C and assembly which ship with the kit.

As for a program memory limitation, I imagine there ways around that too.
