The description in the following Knowledge Base article states that with the use of the -binary option in Linker, binary files within 64KB can be assigned to the address range of 0-0x0FFFF.

However, how can binary files larger than 64KB be linked to the project?
To link binary files of of any size, create assembly source code and specify the address. Then, use the assembler's BINCLUDE control instruction to include the binary file.
...
After completing the above settings, compile the project and view the map file. The section (.textfd1_f) beginning at 0x00012000 contains data with a size of 0x1341C, successfully linking binary files that exceed 64KB.
A similar method links binary files into Data Flash. Use the following assembly code statement, where 0xF1000 is the starting address for linking binary files.
DATAF .CSEG AT 0xF1000
$BINCLUDE(App6.bin)
After compiling, review the map file to verify that the 4KB (0x1000) binary file has been linked to the address 0x000F1000 (data flash area).
