Error with RcppArmadillo: requested size is too large; suggest to enable ARMA_64BIT_WORD

Question

I am trying to run a function that uses BiocParallel and RcppArmadillo. The function runs to 50% completion but then throws the error:

Error: BiocParallel errors
  element index: 1
  first error: Mat::init(): requested size is too large; suggest to enable ARMA_64BIT_WORD

I have tried to troubleshoot using:

1. Large Matrices in RcppArmadillo via the ARMA_64BIT_WORD define
2. Handling extremely large and sparse matrices in RcppArmadillo
3. https://thecoatlessprofessor.com/programming/cpp/r-compiler-tools-for-rcpp-on-macos/

And, I have also tried adding the line #define ARMA_64BIT_WORD 1 to /Library/Frameworks/R.framework/Resources/library/RcppArmadillo/include/RcppArmadilloConfig.h as the comments say:

// Under C++11 and C++14, Armadillo now defaults to using int64_t for
// integers.  This prevents us from passing integer vectors to R as
// only used int32_t -- so we select the shorter representation here.
// Unless int64_t is explicitly required during compilation.

However, so far none of these solutions have worked. Is there any solution for this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

P.S.
