If it's over your desired length, then you don't need to adjust that.

The problem is that if you're using the UDP transport, messages
terminated by the datagram borders, e.g. each message is a separate
frame.

Syslog-ng will happily process UDP frames over 1024 bytes (even thought
the RFC says that's the limit), so change the sender to send it out with
a single frame.
