Yes. Try man rsync and look for max-size

(oh well, since RTFM is just mean and doesn't help create usable 
archives...)

   --min-size=SIZE
              This  tells rsync to avoid transferring any file that is 
smaller than the specified SIZE. The SIZE value can be suffixed with a 
letter to indicate a size multiplier (K, M, or G) and may be  a  
fractional  value  (e.g. "--min-size=1.5k").

       --max-size=SIZE
              This  tells  rsync  to  avoid  transferring any file that 
is larger than the specified SIZE.  See --min-size above for the 
description of SIZE.
