No because if it takes 50 human cells for the dot for the letter I it can't cover New York City
No, cells cannot get big enough to cover New York City.
The cell is spread too thin to absorb enough materials and it dies
If the cell is large the substances can not get into and out of the cell fast enough to deliver the things the cell needs to live.
The cell might have difficulty supplying nutrients and expelling enough waste products.
The cell has more trouble moving enough nutrients & wastes across the cell membrane.

If it is a number that is in the cell that is not wide enough, Excel will fill the cell with # symbols. If it is text in the cell, either the text will only show what can fit in it if the next cell has something in it, or it will spill out across the neighbouring cells if they are empty, though the text will not actually be in those neighbouring cells.
It depends what you mean by large; eggs are single cells and an ostrich egg is pretty large. However, most cells are, by human standards, small. The most obvious reason is that a large cell would not be strong enough to stay together; the lipid bilayer, which surrounds the cell would collapse if the cell was much larger.
The volume of the cells would remain the same because it is making a clone of the cell. The cells grow until they are large enough to split. When the cell splits there are two identical cells that are the same size as the original cell.
Cell Membarane
it will not be able to take in enough nutrients or get rid of wastes
It dies because it cant create enough food to help it live.
