You should be able to get up to 64 KiB (minus a few bytes for headers, etc) within a TXT record. The lookup will have to use TCP though.

Large single record seems to work fine testing from BIND via Windows nslookup as long as you obey the 255 character per line rule i.e. split strings "like" "this" at least every 255 characters.
