It definitely won't fit in a 210x210 square, but MIGHT just fit in a 210x210x205 cube if the design is wedged into opposite corners. However, the support structure necessary to actually print the thing like that (if at all possible on a typical home unit) may make it far more complex to design and print and a pain to clean up and smooth out. And, you are probably correct with the longevity, but it might be interesting to try if someone is looking for a challenging project.
