I believe that the size of slaxsave.dat can be easily increased.
You simply enlarge the slaxsave.dat by zeros (using dd or cat /dev/zero >> slaxsave.dat for a while), and then you use xfs_growfs command to grow the XFS filesystem to fully fit the file size. All data will be preserved.

I could not run the xfs_growfs command directly on the slaxsave.dat file. It returned me this error : slaxsave.dat is not a mounted XFS filesystem.
So in order to make it successfull, you just need to restart your Slax without using your slaxsave.dat file. With Slax 6 press tab during the boot splash screen then delete "changes=slax/slaxsave.dat" part of the command, then press enter. After boot is done, mount your slaxsave.dat like this :
Create first a temp mount point :
mkdir /mnt/temp
Then mount your slaxsave.dat like this (I run slax from a usb stick) :
mount -t xfs /mnt/sda1_removable/slax/slaxsave.dat /mnt/temp -o loop
And finally use the xfs_growfs command like this :
xfs_growfs /mnt/temp
Tested with the fresh Slax 6 rc3.
