Well, the use of the ideogram 太 to denote greatness, according to the wiktionary, is accompanying the names of emperors, gods or subjects of similar rank. It also points that use as being the Japanese one (read as "futo-") rather than the Chinese one (read as "tai").

You have to take into account Monty's comment on how "There is no Germany is Remnant." (Or in this case China or Japan).

With that in mind, I would interpret RT isn't going for being 100% grammatically correct (just like Weiss name isn't pronounced like it would be in German) but rather is playing around with the meaning of the ideograms.
