Not a concern, but thanks for noticing. ;-)

Good question, not so easy to answer. All of my prior experience is
with 8-bit, running HF on no larger than camera-size images. To try
answering your question, I gen'd up a couple of 8471x7715 16-bit
tiff's using Photoshop (no ICC profiles, no compression, file size
392,485,732 bytes). When I tried feeding them into Helicon Focus
4.16.4 Pro (the current release that I just downloaded), it
complained "Source image BigBlur16BitA.tif is invalid or not
supported by the program."
I don't know what's going on. The documentation for HF indicates
that it should handle 16-bit.
I suggest downloading a trial copy and trying it on your images. If
it doesn't work, or works badly, try asking the guys at
HeliconFocus.com -- they seem pretty responsive. Or register as a
member in their forum, and ask there.
Sorry I can't be more helpful. The questions you're asking are
outside my experience.
