This is a problem with gzip, not tar. Unfortunately the gzip format, which is standardized by Internet RFC 1952 <ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1952.txt>, stores the uncompressed size modulo 2**32.
Thank You very much for your answer. So I think I have to wait for a update of the gzip rfc or use another compression standard.
