Assuming you're talking about local filesystem files, you might try to
proxy_pass back round to yourself, and do an if() based on
$upstream_http_content_length.
If you're already proxy'ing, you could use the same technique but
without the double nginx hit.
I'd personally look at /how/ too-large files are getting onto disk,
and fix that, however.
