Looking at the NSCA sources, common.h has:

#define MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH       512

I'm guessing that's the issue right there.  The first thing I'd try is  
to bump that up to 4096, and recompile send_nsca and nsca.  I haven't  
looked very carefully at the source or tried this myself, but it seems  
like a good place to start.

Mike
