Answer 1

Yes, it is not possible to create images of the desired size. That is not a yEd shortcoming, but a general technical restriction for generating raster images.

Try one of the following approaches:

1. Export to a vector graphics format such as SVG or PDF instead of a raster image format.
2. Use image tiling for export. (Usually, it does not make sense to create tiles that are larger than your display resolution. Most displays today offer a resolution of 1920x1200. As a result, you would need 676 columns and 5 rows of tiles for a total of 3380 individual image files.)
3. Export at a smaller zoom level. This may done by e.g. specifying a custom width on tab "Clipping" of the image export settings. Again, it usually does not make sense to create an image that is larger than your display resolution. Unfortunately, a diagram as large as yours is not suited for this approach.

To be honest, your diagram is simply too large for image export to produce usable results.
