While I'm not sure about the (non)existence of the 1M limit on .prc files,
you might try putting the flash image in a separate database rather than
in the .prc file itself. This has the added benefit that you can
change/upgrade the flash image without changing out programs, and could
even support housing multiple flash images on the same Palm device,
assuming there is sufficient memory, of course.
Hope that helps,
