The 4.3BSD libtermlib is about par for this issue.
It really doesn't do a lot..

Yes.  Note that the 1024-character limit includes all the entries
reference via "tc=", and if you manually consolidate the references
into a separate "vt200-w" entry it might be under 1024 characters.

I'm afraid the 1024-character limit is wired into too many applications.
This should be considered a "hard limit" on termcap.
