That's excellent to hear!
The Items block (#2) can be 34822 max. Pipes will work fine as long as you don't use a pipe in the actual text. I can use 'replace' to convert to the format the text tool expects. It reads a standard 'line break' as 'new-line', and two line breaks in a row as a 'new entry'.
Not to complicate things even more, but Fromsoft often leaves a lot of unused data scraps in their games and several of the STA text blocks are longer than I indicated, but the extra text is not referenced in the pointer table and doesn't seem to appear ingame. It's likely that the extra text is just scraps that were edited out in the final version. I'll do some checking to make sure the extra doesn't appear ingame and see if we might be able to use the extra space for the translation without introducing bugs.
