Didn't know this, thanks for that. :-)

AFAIK there's no 40 GB restriction on partition size, according to
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/184006 it's at 8 TB. However Windows
does not allow to format a volume greater than 32 GB or 40 GB or so. 

Technically FAT12 and FAT16 have the 4 GB file size restriction as well,
but the volumes can not be such big. ;-)

However, you're right, I would not recommend to use FAT, too.
