This page explains various limits imposed by mIRC version 7.19, however this may not be a complete list. The length is measured in bytes (equivalent to ASCII characters, including spaces.)

You can find the original limits page here.

Global limits
Line Length Limit
(LLL)		4150Truncated or errorTo be precise: 4150 for evaluation results, 4151 for command lines (excluding command prefixes.)
Variables
(local or global)		4150TruncatedThis limit includes the variable's name. Example: using "%a" as a name uses 3 bytes (2 for the name and 1 for a space.)
This means that for every extra character in the variable name, the maximum length of the value is reduced.
Note: the /set command further reduces the length limit to 4144 due to the 4 characters used by "set ". (LLL)
