Single phase max load

Hi I know that in a normal house the single phase supply is rated at 100 amps max as far as I know there aren't any bigger than this but are there larger single phase supply's for commercial use?

Split phase is more of a rural thing, usually because the 11 kv supply is only two wire and three phase is not available.

In most urban areas, the alternative to single phase is almost certain to be three phase. There are a handful of exceptions even in urban areas, parts of West London still have side streets with split phase only.

Anyone in the area needing three phase will have to pay for a new cable from the substation, install converting plant, use a generator, or move !
