No, qmail-smtpd checks it continously while passing the message data to
qmail-queue. As soon as it founds itself bumping into the limit, it
reports and error to the client, and qmail-queue will abort the message,
so qmail won't allow a single message to use significantly larger space
than you allow.
(Or a least, that's how the source looks to me.)
