I wonder what the practical length limit per scrap really is, since you recommended rather small values of ~100 m in the manual.
This limit is due to metapost figure limit size - it has to be within 1m or so. So you can draw up to 200m scrap in 1:200 scale - otherwise metapost will end with error.
So it might be possible to have a 'super scrap' so long as scale is kept suitable (1:3000 would allow a scrap 3km long). That might be sufficient to be able to chop it up into smaller pieces which can be processed at a momre useful scale?
