While reading smsbox.c I found the smsbox group accepts an undocumented
option, sms-length, which allows to modify maximum sms length globally
in smsbox.

I tested group smsc max-sms-octets plus group smsbox sms-length together
and they allow larger than 140 characters messages to enter sendsms and
exit an smsc driver. This is enough for my purposes.

If anyone is interested a per sendsms-user sms-length may still make
sense.
