Review Comment:
   I don't think there's a way for it to tell from the logical type whether or 
not it should use `Binary` or `LargeBinary` (or `BinaryView`). The difference 
is solely whether or not there happens to be more than 2GB worth of data in a 
single record batch. So even if you were to add a second case here, it's likely 
not a useful thing (all extension types that support Binary should also support 
LargeBinary and vice versa). 
   
   The better solution here, like the usage of `String` instead of 
`LargeString` above, is to ensure that we properly promote to LargeBinary if 
necessary, but that can be a follow-up
