    Hi! As you have noted, currently, WordPress.com supports TXT records of up to 192 characters only.

    From the Custom DNS support article:

    Our DNS editor currently has a limitation of 192 characters for TXT records. If this poses a problem for your needs, the workaround is to create a CNAME record to an alternate domain and host the TXT record there. Alternatively, some third-party services may allow you to use an alternate, non-TXT form of authentication.

    The workarounds described in this section are your best bets right now. Hope this helps. Good luck!
