Is there a partition-size limit for USB drives?

I have a USB drive with a 250G HD. I was able to create a single
partition using the whole drive space but could not format it (NTFS).
When I created two, roughly equal, partitions I was able to format both.

I have not tried that as I am a partition Jockey - however I am sure that I
would not format it using USB rather than that I should put it into my computer
and format it there. I use 320GB as USB Drives
