I wonder how Inkscape gets the "page size". If it knows it, it can clip the huge object to the page size, can't it?

It must have come originally from Mathematica. The author of the figure gave me an EPS version and a PDF version. The EPS says "%%Creator: (Wolfram Mathematica 10.0 for Microsoft Windows (32-bit) (July 1, 2014))" whereas the PDF version says
Creator: cairo 1.12.16 (http://
Producer: cairo 1.12.16 (http://
(according to the pdfinfo command on the PDF file). That suggests that the author or Mathematica uses cairo to generate it or convert the EPS to PDF.
