Not as long as there is space awailable and you stay below the magic 2GB filesize limit. It should howevever be noted that swap.state is garbage collected every time you rotate the logs to only contain the information about your currently cached objects. This means that in average the swap.state size A abnormally large or always growing swap.state file most likely indicates you are not rotating the logs and not rotating the logs will give you problems sooner or later.
