You could arrange to send large messages off-peak,
See the following link for an example of how to do this;
instead of the local_parts condition you'd want to extend
the condition condition with a test of $message_size.

Or perhaps instead of a time-based restriction you could
${run {exim -bpc} } to work out the queue length and only
send large messages if the queue is short.
