The limit is enforced in post.php. Look for:

else if (strlen($message) > 65535)

Just decrease 65535 to whatever you want.

Text in code tags get scrollbars. I'm guessing that's what you meant when you refered to the big posts in the topic you linked to.

In order to do it without javascript you would have to make all posts a fixed height e.g. 400px. Posts longer than 400px could then be made to scroll. The trouble is one line posts would also be 400px high. With javascript it would be pretty ugly as the screen would have to draw itself, all the heights calculated and then adjusted.
