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.
