I suggest a comment like:

/* The difference can overflow, only if self->size is greater than
 * PY_SSIZE_T_MAX.  But then the operation cannot possibly succeed,
 * because the mapped area and the returned string each need more 
 * than half of the addressable memory.  So we clip the size, and let
 * the code below raise MemoryError.
 */
