Strings in TXT records have a single-octet length field. When returning a longer
string, or when one wants to explicitly segment a TXT RDATA into multiple 
strings
one returns:

        txt.example. IN TXT "first string" "second string" ... "last string"

with the wire RDATA being:

        <len1>first string<len2>second string...<lenN>last string
