There is currently a 2048 byte limit on the length of a requirement 
string in the submit file.

You may be able to work around this limitation if you can change your 
startd configuration.  Instead of saying

requirements = machine == "machine1" || machine == "machine2" ...

for some large set of machines, can you change the startds to export an 
attribute (via STARTD_EXPRS) like

HasSomeFeature=true

and change the requirements to be

requirements = HasSomeFeature =?= true
