RSA - another question (General questions)

I am really confused about what large content means, the VB example project that comes with component has a RSA encryption but the largest text it can handle is 128 chars (needless to say that it generates a 172 chars - in Base64 - signature), is this a demo limit ? About RSA itself: I always thing about private key to be password protect, but this component stores the key in a file that could be used without any sort of authentication, so the key security is a phisical security question, am I right ?
thank you guys very much and keep the good work !
best regards
