To be able to help, people here would need at least

 - a clue on what `file-seq' does (it doesn't seem to be in
   the "standard" set of functions
 - an idea about the regular expression you are applying

As a very uneducated guess: file-seq concatenates the content of those
1400 files, and the regexp is anchored in some way that it can't let
go partial matches anchored at the beginning of this huge text. Or
something similar.

Perhaps you'll have to break up the problem into smaller pieces, but it's
difficult to say without having an idea of what "the problem" is.
