Follow-up Comment #2:

csv2cell's read buffer indeed is set to 4096 chars, see L. 193:

#define MAXSTRINGLENGTH 4096

It's easy to recompile csv2cell yourself after adapting this value; just a:

mkoctfile csv2cll.cc will do.

Beware that you first have to unload the io package and do a "clear -f" to
unload the resident csv2cell incarnation.

Noting that this value was set there years ago when processing .csv data files
with extremely long lines wasn't done very often, is there any reasonable
value you'd like to suggest for this value now?
