That seems like a bad idea, even if it is possible. I'd suggest having it direct it's output to another process running as a different user. Then you can use quota for that user. And if it did fill up the device, you'd still have root's reserved % to keep the system at least partially functional. Or, create a file of a set size, and mount that as a drive, then record the data to that file, then you have an exact limit on the amount of data recorded. I'm sure there are quite a few other creative solutions, those are just the two that popped into my mind as quick fixes.
