Your DecryptMessage function is specifically designed to require the entire
encrypted string:
if(!EVP_DecryptFinal_ex(&deCTX, plaintext+p_len, &f_len))
cerr << "ERROR in EVP_DecryptFinal_ex" << endl;
See how it calls EVP_DecryptFinal_ex?
As EVP_DecryptInit should only be called at the very start to initialize a
message, so EVP_DecryptFinal_ex should only be called at the very end to
finish a complete message. In the middle, you should only be using
EVP_DecryptUpdate.
