Have you tried tweaking ScriptBufSize in mathopd.conf ?

But, as a better solution, I guess it must also be possible somehow to
send arbitrarily-long CGI script output through Mathopd, in the style of
NCSA httpd's "non-parsed-header" CGI interface. For NCSA http you just
had to name your CGI script "nph-xxxx" but I don't know whether mathopd
does anything like that.
