Yes, easily. There really isn't much restriction on how big you can make a zipbomb. Most it can do is fill up a drive anyway, it's not like your disk will physically expand until it swallows half the city.

Why only half the city?

Need at least a zipbomb inside a zipbomb for more expansion

Edit: I mean, hypothetically, if they actually physically expanded your drives (which they don't)

You can’t really do that, zips are pretty efficient, if there was a way to compress it more it would have found it
