I would query the validity of an ICC Profile that big. The biggest one I
work with, the FOGRA39 definitions for coated stock, is only 8.3MB. EXIF
tools are different, but a 2.1GB profile looks like an error. Is the
actual image bigger than 2.1GB? If not, then the length field is bogus
and I don't know how you would go about fixing it.

Unless you are going to be doing some in-depth work on the colour
correction of these images, you could try stripping the profile
completely using something other than exiftool — can you do it in GIMP?
