How to store strings longer than 1023 bits in TON cells?

Answered

Do I get it right that if my smart contract needs to store a string longer than 1023 bits, I should split that thing in parts and make a chain of cells containing it? Can the length of each part go all the way up to 1023 bits?

That is correct; you need to use Snake Data Encoding if you want to store more than 1023 bits in a Smart Contract (TVM).

You have no other option.

The short answer is to use the method that Arter provided by checking the snake encoding example code here:

Also, for a more comprehensive understanding of how to incorporate this process into your work, you can refer to the following documentation:
