NXPatcher uses malloc to allocate memory which has a limit that depends on the operating system. Chances are Windows doesn't allow you to malloc such huge amounts of memory from the free store and just errors out. 1.056 GB is a lot of memory to allocate so malloc will probably always fail. This is because the algorithm that Fiel uses to allocate memory naively just multiplies the memory of the patch by two (which is good for 99% of the use cases) so if a patch is 250 MB it'll try to allocate 500 MB and this can become troublesome with big patches as you see there.
It's probably best to just use patch the usual way when this occurs.
