Note that there are two tables for reporting "extend" output.
I presume you're currently looking at nsExtendOutputFull (in
the nsExtendOutput1Table) which does indeed contain the full
output as a single string.
  It might be worth investigating nsExtendOutput2Table which
reports the same output, but as a series of individual lines.

There is a fixed 1K buffer in the "exec" implementation,
which limits the size of output.   The intention is to
phase this code out, in favour of the "extend" equivalent.

This will also support the UCD-SNMP-MIB::extTable (for
backwards compatability) - but "relocated" extensions
(specifying an explicit root OID) would use the new style
of output.   Not least because the old form is not actually
a legal MIB structure!
