is there an rsync switch to not backup a file of size > X

I'm performing backup via a standard use of rsync:
(note:$dayte is set via a .sh file)
rsync -aurvz --backup --backup-dir=../data_originals/$dayte -e ssh
/mnt/netware6/dhs01/data/ ./dhs01/data/

My Question: Is there any way to make rsync ignore files greater than a
certain size. The files do not follow any naming convention and are
therefore only identifiable by their size?  (e.g I want all files backed
up except files greater than say 200Mb)

thanks
sam
