Just because I find this kinda interesting from a technical perspective, the technical maximum size of an article within MediaWiki is defined by, which Wikia have set to 2 048 KiB = 2 097 152 bytes. Assuming you only use ASCII, 1 byte = 1 character, so you have 2 097 152 characters to work with. The average length of a word is 5.1 characters, so you have approximately 400 000 words maximum. War and Peace has just under 600 000 words when translated to English, so I think you're pretty much certain to be okay.
