it is expected since libgnokii uses one single buffer and converts it at once

if the received message is to be displayed on a standard phone there's
nothing you can do with the current libgnokii, I don't know if
compression could help but it isn't implemented in libgnokii

AFAICT the standard doesn't allow for different encoding in each part
because we would need to change TP-DCS, but it says:

"The TP elements in the SMS-SUBMIT PDU, apart from TP-MR, TP-SRR,
TP-UDL and TP-UD, should remain unchanged for each SM which forms part
of a concatenated SM, otherwise this may lead to irrational
behaviour."
