minimal example please

some fonts provide building blocks for creating large delimiters, but 
since \lvert and \rvert are sloped, that cannot be present in the font, 
so pdflatex may be right in refusing to go that large.

I would refrase this equation, as a 9-lined equation is already very 
hard to read.

Otherwise draw the delimiter using, say tikz
