STD should support up to 64k of paged memory:

BTW did you look at C64/C96/C128 chips? According to the docs these should 
have more than 48k of linear flash, though I didn't try these myself.

Interrupt handlers should be in the 4000-7fff and c000-FEFF. Non-issue since 
these are automatically put there even if make paged functions default 
option is on.
