I don't know if the WinGRASS binaries were built with LFS support turned
on or not. Also memory requirements of r.in.gdal, most raster modules are very good with large maps, but a few are not.

perhaps use gdal_translate to split it up into a series of smaller tiles, then import each individually-

The general way to make a 1280x1024 tile is like:
 gdal_translate -srcwin $XOFFSET $YOFFSET 1280 1024 source.img out.tif


I have a script here which uses that, maybe could be adapted:
