Its size and layout are known to userland and thus set in stone. To have a larger size, we would have to invent a new NT_* type code with a new layout that would also be known to userland. It's not worth the bother. Nowadays a debugger can see AT_EXECFN in auxv (NT_AUXV in core files, /proc/pid/auxv live), and look at that address in the user memory (core file or process). That's clobberable on the user-mode stack, but it can be of unbounded size.
