Excellent point.  Proposed new text:

   Some nameservers may split the data in the TXT record into multiple
   strings due to length limitations.  If the single TXT record returned
   contains multiple strings, eg.
      TXT "v=spf1 .... first" "second string..."
   then an SPF client MUST concatenate those strings without adding
   spaces:
      "v=spf1 .... firstsecond string..."
   to form the SPF record.

Does this make sense to people?
