Maximum data length for single TXT record is 255 bytes. See [RFC 1035 section 3.3.14] and http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1035#section-3.3 section 3.3.
User interface has to enforce this limit for all record manipulations.
Because of DNS escaping, following records are equivalent. Both records have maximal length:
test.test. 86400 IN TXT "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde" test.test. 86400 IN TXT "\048123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef0123456789abcde"
DNS escaping is described in RFC 1035 page 35.
