The only way to stop an archive from growing is to stop archiving messages. You could, however, edit the archive mbox to remove old messages and regenerate the pages. Check out- http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4030681 and http://wiki.list.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=7602232
You could also move the archives to a bigger file system, but doesn't eliminate the problem, it just puts it off.
