To my knowledge no.  I think due to the fact, that you need lots of main
memory (>32 GB) to really test 64-bit indexing with matrices, we do not
have any yet.

One thing you can try is running the commands from the wiki example
(there I recently figured out how to test 64-bit indexing with only 8 GB
main memory available):
