This is addressed in the -set min_memory- option:

        set max_memory  amt [, permanently]
        set min_memory  amt [, permanently]


      "12.  min_memory specifies an amount of memory Stata will not fall below.
          For instance, you have a long do-file.  You know that late in the
          do-file, you will need 8 gigabytes.  You want to ensure that the
          memory will be available later.  At the start of your do-file, you set
          min_memory 8g."
