Render where?

In the summary line for the packet?  We currently impose a limit of 256 bytes on columns in the summary line, so the length of hex strings could be increased, but there's still a limit.

In the packet detail entry for the field?  We currently impose a limit of 240 bytes on the text representation of entries in the protocol tree, so the length of hex strings could be increased, but there's still a limit.

Somewhere else?
