Exactly--EmPathWalker beat me to it. Use a smaller card to get the bootloader (the modified X3 firmware) installed. After that, as long as the entire .rockbox folder is in the root of the Slot 1 card, you're in business. You might be able to use a 128GB card, but they are flaky and might cause some frustration.
Also, make sure to reformat a larger microSD to FAT32 or Rockbox will not recognize it. Use the FAT32 format tool here (click the image to download).
The X3 does not have internal memory, so (in home computer terms) the X3 basically treats that .rockbox folder as its boot disk to load the Rockbox operating system. I use two 128GB cards myself with no trouble, and hope to upgrade to two 256GB cards when I win the lottery.
