Certificate too large message in download code sample when using *google.com certificate

I was modifying the download code sample in nRF connect SDK v2.6.1. I was attempting to download https//google.com/favicon.ico.

When I attempted to add the certificate for google.com (download using Chrome) to the project, I got the following message when building:

"Certificate too large"

Is it possible to workaround this issue? Can the size of the certificate be increased in the build configuration? Or is there a modem hardware/firmware limitation?

I don't need to use google.com specifially, but I'm concerned that some cloud services may not be available for our project as a result of this and may need to keep this in mind when defining our architecture.
