Your example doesn't really need the business features. You can do that
with a single transaction too, and that isn't 'kludging' the memo fields
at all. That is what they are intended to be used for—info relating to
just that particular split. ('Notes' would be info relating to the
transaction as a whole)
If I understand the OP correctly, the issue is they are wanting to
record much more info per split than you demonstrate here, hence, the
issue with a character limit. This is not solved by using invoices.
Those have a limit too for each line item description.

would need to set up an AP and AR account to post the invoices to. To
me, the vendor bill - payment system is the proper way to store the
data, rather than kludging the memo fields. Here is an example of a
Costco receipt entered as a bill, then paid with a credit card through
the vendor-payments section.
I think that this would be the best way to handle the handyman payments
as requested and job tracking (create various expense accounts). It
would also allow for multiple types of payments - e.g. check, credit
card, cash all on the same bill if needed.
