Rank genes groups wilcoxon test fails for more than 10 million cells

• I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of scanpy.
• (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of scanpy.

What happened?

Running rank_genes_groups function with a dataset with more than 10 million cells would fail since MAX_SIZE is hardcoded here:

scanpy/src/scanpy/tools/_rank_genes_groups.py

Line 51 in 751eafa

CONST_MAX_SIZE = 10000000

I tried doing it and here's the error:

     72 # Calculate chunk frames
     73 max_chunk = floor(CONST_MAX_SIZE / n_cells)
---> 75 for left in range(0, n_genes, max_chunk):
     76     right = min(left + max_chunk, n_genes)
     78     df = pd.DataFrame(data=get_chunk(X, left, right))

ValueError: range() arg 3 must not be zero

Minimal code sample

sc.tl.rank_genes_groups(adata=adata, groupby='louvain', method='wilcoxon', pts=True, use_raw=False)

Error output
