As follow up to ARROW-5028 and other issues, in a case like
vals = [['x' * 1024]] * ((2 << 20) + 1)
arr = pa.array(vals)
The child array of the ListArray cannot hold all of the string data. After the patch for ARROW-5028, an exception is raised rather than returning a malformed array. We could (with some effort) instead produce a chunked array of list type
