Another, with backreferences:

import re, regex

text = "TEST, BEST; LEST ; Lest 123 Test, Best"
regexp = "(?i)(.{1,40}?),(.{1,40}?)(?:;)+(.{1,80}).{1,40}?\\3(\ |;)+(.{1,80}?)\\1"
print re.findall(regexp, text)
print regex.findall(regexp, text)

$ python test.py 
[('TEST', ' BEST', ' LEST', ' ', '123 ')]
[('T', ' BEST', ' ', ' ', 'Lest 123 ')]
