I don't have the G85 specifically, but whenever I've recorded video with Panasonic cameras (or any other cameras), the files were always split into parts 4GB or less. If anything has changed, I'd be interested to hear about it.

The G7 (older camera) breaks up files into 4.26 GB sizes, the GX85 does not. The GX85 will write one long file, regardless of how long you're recording. I'm assuming the G85 would be the same, since it came after the GX85, and it's basically the same camera, but in a DSLR style body.

To all - your comments are much appreciated.

uncle dunc,

To be clear. I am looking at the G85 not the GX85.

I don't think you are exactly correct. No camera can write files larger than 4G to FAT32 formatted media. larger files can only be written to exFAT media. The software in the camera may  limit files to an arbitrary size smaller than the media format will support. Thisis the source of no small amount of confusion. It helps to eliminate ambiguity if you specify the actual media format used to support your assertion.
