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.

How would you distinguish a large colonial organism from a multicellular organisms?

Multicellular organisms are organisms with more than one cell, the cells of which are usually specialized. A large colonial organism is an organism of many cells that are loosely attached to each other and that show little or no specialization among themselves. Multicellular organisms are capable of surviving on their own while colonial organisms are not.
