Unless the vector is one dimensional, or only valued along one base in a multidimensional space, in which case the magnitude is equal to it's components, a vector's magnitude has to be greater than its components.

No, the magnitude of a vector cannot be greater than the sum of its components. The magnitude of a vector is always equal to or less than the sum of the magnitudes of its components. This is known as the triangle inequality.
