There must be enough iron for the lowest frequency but the high frequency limit is sort of arbitrary and determined by leakage reactance and possibly parasitic capacitance. Whole issue is core saturation and for any particular core area and frequency there is a minimum number of turns per volt required. Look up transformer design on Google and you should get plenty of discussion.

and loss.. that drives the lamination design (and is why RF transformers don't use laminated cores..), particularly the thickness of the laminations.
