This plant can't be stopped

Question

What's it going to do. Will it just keep putting out bigger and bigger leaves? Should I let it lay down? It was like one leaf when I got it. Now it's humongous!

This plant seems to be happy with what you've been doing ^^ I wouldn't change a thing unless problems happen. 
Plants grow until they can't. That's sorta just how they work. It'll put out bigger, more mature leaves until it can't put out bigger ones

What do you mean "lay down"? If you don't want it to get any bigger, keep it in the same size pot. Replace the soil every year or two, but don't upsize the pot. Most people are thrilled if their plant has this kind of robust growth with enormous leaves 😉

I added a support stake in my pot to prevent it flopping over.

@ZanyGollum21 honestly it's just a personal preference at this point 🤷🏾‍♀️. If you want your plant to stay upright then keep giving it support. 
If you don't want it to get bigger then cut the roots at repotting time and keep it in the same size pot. 
If your plant is happy it will continue to grow more mature leaves because that's what it's meant to do. 
Only you know your space and light accommodations and the level of energy you're willing to put into each plant you own. Decide what you want to see from this one and adjust accordingly 💚
