I think there's no limit of the affecter area with Bend Time - it may stop the time in the whole Universe, too - but it's obvious that its endurance is strictly limited, if used from a common mortal like Corvo. If you're a God, well... in that case you can stop the time everywhere for a longer time (related to yours). The concept of time is relative as Einstein said: there's the "universal" time, related to the whole Universe and his expansion/evolution (which you can stop with Bend Time), and there's the related time to people and things (stupid example: in real time I take 5 minutes to write this comment, but in my relative time I feel slower and I take 8 minutes).

It's pretty complicated to explain, but yes: Bend Time is unlimited in space, but very limited in endurance.
