Are you talking about SMS? Why do you worry about the character limit? Aren't you going to use the same amount of messages regardless of if you break it up or not?

I used to have to pay 35c per message. I can fit 160 characters in a single message, or 150ish if you combined messages. Years later my messages became free and so I used fewer shorthands but that habit stuck.
