Please excuse my ignorance and a very delayed response (I was swamped
with stuff other than this). I understand what you are suggesting and
thanks for your suggestion.

Please, read the link I provided. The include: tag is *nothing* to do
with BIND but is an SPF record tag.

If you'd read that URL I provided, listing the *official* record
syntax, you'd already know ;)

1) Break your single record up into TXT and SPF records (since I see
you publish both) totalling no more than 127 characters:

spf1.lightspeedresearch.com: v=spf1 ip4:1.0.0.0/32 ip4: 2.0.0.0/24 ...
-all
spf2.lightspeedresearch.com: v=spf1 ip4:12.0.0.0/16 ip4:13.0.0.0/8 ...
-all

2) Bring them all together:

lightspeedresearch.com: v=spf1 include:spf1.lightspeedresearch.com
include:spf2.lightspeedresearch.com -all

Remember to keep your SPF and TXT record types in sync to avoid
confusion.
