According to the math you use in string theory, they all can exist
You can posit any number of dimensions you want.....but say you posited 100....that wouldn't be string theory....that would be some other theory.
String theory posits 10 or 11(depending on the flavor of String theory) dimensions. An 11 dimensional universe allows for at least 10^500 different configurations(size, curvature, etc) of those 11 dimensions which means String theory allows for at least 10^500 number of ways the universe could be different(i.e. have different physics).

Anyway, you can evolve a brain the size of a planet, (or Brain 100000^100000 as sophisticated ID scientimathicians like to call it), you'll still be limited by physics, still know nothing about stuff outside the light cone, still not be the creator. Of course, within our universe counting from 13.x bi. Years ago, there wasn't enough time anyways for that.
A brain that large would then begin to "feel" the effects of the finite speed at which information could travel. Because it would take so long from information from a neuron on one side of the brain to reach a neuron on another....the brain wouldn't think as fast as a smaller brain. The bigger the brain the slower it thinks. A brain the size of the solar system might take several hours to consciously compute 2+2=4 while you can do that in nearly an instant.
