How is this string being constructed in the source? If it exists as a
single long string, why must it be so long?

Some techniques you may not be aware of:

    >>> chunks = ["abc", "def", "ghi"]
    >>> s = ''.join(chunks) 
    >>> print s
    abcdefghi

    >>> s = "#" * 10
    >>> print s
    ##########

You can, of course, modify the above so that they join or multiply to
create much longer strings.
