I haven't had a look at that LargeFile plugin, but I suppose that "large
file mode" status can be checked as a buffer-local boolean expression.
In that case, Googler, it would be possible (for the user, not the
plugin) to set up a custom 'statusline' displaying, let's say, [LF]
after the file name if in Large File mode.

Tony.
