Now again im probably just paranoid but when I'm starting a transaction

I believe there is a limit on the number of queries in a transaction of
2 or 4 billion (though this may be just in functions).
Ignoring subtransactions, all these queries count as just one transaction.
I am not sure how subtransactions are counted.
If the subtransaction writes at least a tuple, it counts as another
transaction. Else it doesn't count.
Oh crap I fear that now im in serious troubles....
Where can I read about this limitation? and beside that what if I count
the number of queries and every 900,000 or so I create a subtransaction
and continue my process with it, will that work or I'm just trying to be
a smart ass with the db?
As always thanks alot,
