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.

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);
        }
