Why ask the question? Unless the objective is to beat the record.
I suspect that won't happen because we now break apart almost all specs into parts for process reasons. NFS might be the exception because it is an old protocol and splitting the document would be a major and possibly breaking change.

Now it's RFC 8881 with 1593486 bytes in the text version, 2414247 in the XML.
The PDF is 560 pages long.
Unsurprisingly, 8881 is an updated version of 5661.
