As I understood the TP flags, those were for minding together 
transactions, not for binding together pieces of messages.  Each 
message in a transaction stream is still a properly structured PL 
message.  So that does not provide fragmentation of PL messages for 
the case where the outermost TLV is "too long."

This just doesn't seem to me a big enough issue to worry about at 
this time.  If we find there is a problem, we can try to come up with 
sensible solutions later when we know what is causing the difficulty.

Yours,
Joel
