Thank you both very much!

Just to make sure I've understood correctly: If I want to run
a cmd command line with spawn*() then I can use
argv[0] = "cmd";
argv[1] = "/c";
argv[2] = "very long command line";
argv[3] = NULL;

which is 100% identical to the case if I split the command
line into pieces like the following:

argv[0] = "cmd";
argv[1] = "/c";
argv[2] = "very";
argv[3] = "long";
argv[4] = "command";
argv[5] = "line";
argv[6] = NULL;

Is this correct?
Are there any known limits for the cmd command line arguments?
