The number of amino acids coded for shouldn't have an effect on translation or transcription. For instance titin a protein found in our bodies is  ~30,000 amino acids long

I can't tell if proteins with subunits exist because of assembly problems, or if because different proteins co-evolved into some mutual function. Probably both, but designing new and working subunits isn't as easy. So, stick with 30k amino acids, for now.
