Maybe you should write more in detail what exaclty you try to do?
For one gmapsupp, whole europe is of course far too big. And with
2293 img tiles you have too much, too. The number of img tiles is
limited to 2000 for older devices. Don't know where the limit is for 
newer devices, I think 5000 tiles.

I have no problems creating the data for whole europe with
about 1300 img tiles. But I use "--tdbfile" and not "--gmapsupp".
Afterwards I can select the img tiles I need and write them with
MapSource to a GPS device.
