Writing large files to tape

I have a zipped file that is ~ 10GB. I tried tarring it off to a tape, but I receive:
tar: <filename> too large to archive. Use E function modifier.

The file is stored on a UFS mount, so I was unable to use ufsdump.

What other options do I have? (I don't have a local file system large enough to move it to to use ufsdump)

Thanks for any ideas!
