The BASIC interpreter in the Plus/4 (as well as the 64 and 128) can handle tokenized line lengths up to 255 bytes. The 256th byte is $00, the end-of-line marker.
On a 128, string together a bunch of ?: commands to reach 160 characters (the size of the 128's keyboard buffer). Save it to disk, move it to the Plus/4, run it. It WILL run, you can even LIST it. You simply can't edit the line, because it's longer than the keyboard buffer.
