You could run your own IRC network and modify it to allow for more
characters per line.

It's difficult. You would need an ircd that understands it and irc
clients that understand it. Basically, you would have to fork the
protocol.

For the bots that I have written, I generally just split long messages
into 2.

You can't. The RFC specifies a limit of 512 characters per message
(that includes the command, payload and final CRLF), so any message
longer than that is invalid and the server can reject them.
