oh, yes it is.... and if you don't get this settled soon (assuming you're running the game) your game risks breaking up.
I repeat what others have said- with no table stakes rule, it doesn't matter WHAT your blinds are- this is a big game.
My suggestion- "overs" buttons. Set the max buy-in, and the resulting blinds, based on what will work for all of the players in the game currently. Add a table stakes rule and decide what the max rebuy is: 1 1/2x the capped buy-in? 1/2 the biggest stack? Higher?.
Now, for the big playahs, they can each get an overs button. How this works: Once the hand is down to ONLY the players who have overs buttons, there is no cap AND no table stakes, if that is what they want.... but ONLY to complete the rest of this hand.
If anyone remains in the hand until the showdown, who isn't playing the overs, then there ARE no overs and table stakes applies. If they're that desperate to drive up the stakes, they can bribe out the non-overs players on each hand.
Until you get enough players to have two tables (thus, two different limits), that might work?
You'll probably have to make some rules, to avoid having someone take an overs button until they're ahead, then returning it to protect their profit...
