man mkswap:

with 1 bad block.) In the new style swap area this is
precisely what is done. The maximum useful size of a swap
area now depends on the architecture. It is roughly 2GB
on i386, PPC, m68k, ARM, 1GB on sparc, 512MB on mips,
128GB on alpha and 3TB on sparc64.

So you may (with the new swap signature) use up to 2GB per partition...
