Ok, I need to try this, but I have not much time left and the answer might be
slow to come.

I am unlucky, the structures appearing are very fine and I cannot therefore
escape this order of magnitude in the size of the plot. The only other
possibility (but it involves a great deal of work) would be to break up the
image into a mosaic, and place all the bits together inside a TeXmacs figure.

I also have to present a poster, and again the problem will be the same, I fear.

No luck, it doesn't work

I tried inclusion of it as a PDF file (now only 9M due to compression) and it
balked a similar error message.

/home/alv/local/share/TeXmacs/progs/kernel/texmacs/tm-convert.scm:151:3:
Argument 1 out of range: 22824833

but with a different number, maybe it is useful as a new provisory upper bound
in the allowed length of the string?
