You can make a list specific, domain specific or sitewide edited version
of the postheld.txt template. See the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/4030605> for where to put it.

However, this would apply to all held messages, not just 'too big' ones.
If that isn't satisfactory, you'd have to modify
Mailman/Handlers/Hold.py to use a different template if the reason is
'too big'.
