You have to send 2 NPCSay packets, because each packet has a character limit.

Note: the string length is using a byte so therefor the max chars you can use for the string packet msg is 255. If I were you in your send chat function I'd check the length of what you want to submit and split it into individual packets and send them all.

Sec... I feel like writing it up.

<edit>

Fully working afaik. Check incoming string for length. If it's short enough for one packet send as one. If not split into as many as needed.

Code:

public static void LongChat(string text, Client Client)
        {
            if (text.Length < 255)
            {
                Text(text, Client);
                return;
            }            
            string[] Words = text.Split(' ');
            string Final = "";
            foreach (string Word in Words)
            {
                if (Final.Length + Word.Length + 1 < 255)
                    Final += Word + " ";
                else
                {
                    Text(Final, Client);
                    Final = Word + " ";
                }
            }
            Text(Final, Client);
        }
