I've found that the maximum value of this option is 65535, which is 64 Mb max. If I want the max request size say 1Gb, I need to switch this option off. Is that ok?

Also if request_max_size is reached lighty gives the 413 error, that's ok. But we need to override the static error-handler for this error to show a nice "Attachment is too big" page and it doesn't work. If it possible, also please make the 413 error handler work. Thank you.
