As Robert pointed out, you are nowhere near any limit.  This is probably
a simple syntax error, but I don't doubt that it's hard to find in such
a large command :-(.

There is a problem with the parser in releases through 7.2 (it's fixed
for 7.3) in that in some situations, "parse error near foo" messages
will quote only a part of a token, rather than the whole token.  I
suspect that this message is trying to point at some string literal
('foo') in your command.
