Yes, there are a couple of examples in the "Large File Support"
section of the F90 User's Guide (which I've got to get into the C and
Fortran-77 User's Guides soon):

  
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/packages/netcdf/f90/Documentation/f90-html-docs/guide9.html#2236524

The second example shows how to use record variables to get lots of
data in a file, but the first example is only relevant for one very
large variable.

Yes, sorry I forgot to tell you that I ran ncdump on it and it worked
fine, with no errors.  It showed "missing values" for all the data,
but the file is a valid netCDF file:

  $ ncdump UG5sf_1000.0000
  netcdf UG5sf_1000 {
  dimensions:
          x = 160 ;
          y = 20 ;
  variables:
          float Density(y, x) ;
          float Pressure(y, x) ;
          float XVelocity(y, x) ;
          float YVelocity(y, x) ;
          float XScale(x) ;
          float YScale(y) ;
  data:

   Density =
    _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, 
      _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, _, 

    ...
  }
