We Put Half a Million Files in One Git Repository,...
I don't think I've ever seen "because your mono-repo is too big for git" used as an argument for micro-services, but maybe at this point it's valid.

You can put microservices in a monorepo. You just put them in their own folder.

Of course, but can you split a monolith across multiple repos?

Sure. It'd drastically complicate the build process and CI for little benefit compared to other approaches (e.g. sparse checkout), but you could even in principle create a repo for each code directory and stitch them all together.

This is a part of most monorepos. I figure having only a single build artifact is rare.
