RFC2675 adds 32bit field for 4GB packets in IPv6, what about IPv4, how can IPv4 ever do more that 16-bit length of packages? I still don't understand how that can work.

Legacy technology can't do more than 16 bit packet lengths; you will have to upgrade to IPv6 if you need jumbo packets on the wire.
