A quick check turns up that ~40,000 words is ~215,000 characters, including spaces. You'll have to experiment to sort out a more exact number.
The actual limit is the amount of memory available to store the XML "parse tree", so file size limits are only going to be approximate anyway. Really the best we can do is to say that if you restrict the size of a flow to a 280k file, or to 40k words, you should be safe enough.
