You need to specify the file sizes as the number of database
pages. You're not quoting a page_size parameter here for your
restore and you don't say what version of anything you are using, so
use isql's SHOW DATABASE command to find out the page size because
defaults vary among the versions.

Assuming you want to limit the file sizes to 2 Gb, divide
2,000,000,000 by the page size and use that number. I think you can
use 'K' and 'M' as shortcuts for thousands and millions respectively,
'g' looks doubtful here.
