I think some combination of smaller size, mtime (limit to recently
written files), and staying in the filesystem of interest.

example:
find / -xdev -type f -mtime -2 -size +2000000

Then let's sort by size and save in a file...
find / -xdev -type f -mtime -2 -size +2000000 -print0 |
xargs -0 ls -s | sort -n | tee file_in_another_filesystem | tail -20

That will show the largest of the large files modified in the last two
days, the "print0" handles filenames with special characters.

Other tricks include just using the "-ls" in find and "sort +6n" to
order on size. Whatever works for you.
