tar has no limitation.  Most operating systems do.
You have not mentioned what operating system you
are using.

You should, of course, try reading the tar manual.
Assuming you're using the GNU version of tar, the
complete manual is online.  I think you will find
Chapter 6 particularly interesting:

Many of the options described here also work for
other versions of tar.
