You can break it up into two records.

mail  IN  TXT  "v=spf1 ...."
mail  IN  TXT  "text continues here"

The two strings will be concatenated and no space will be put between.

EDIT: Håkan Lindqvist is right, one record with two strings is the right way.

mail  IN  TXT  "v=spf1 .." "text continues here"

That would make two separate records, those will not be combined. One record with two strings however... – Håkan Lindqvist Oct 15 '18 at 23:31
