A quick scroll of wiki shows the tallest person to live more than 55 years was 8 ft (242), but there's still a lot of early deaths in there. A limit to a healthy life is probably somewhere in the upper 7 ft (220+) range. | |

I think I'll rule that their growth starts to taper off in the early 200s, to a maximum weight of 600 kg for an average individual or up to twice that for an individual who has always been exceptionally large. If a suchian lives to 300, it is a safe bet that he has stopped growing by then. | |
