I find the following pattern

  #+source: big-block
  #+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports none
    "something complex"
  #+end_src

  Here is some text with src_emacs-lisp[:var it=big-block]{it} in the
  middle.

to be helpful in these situations.

nope, there is no way to issue an in-line call, although maybe this
wouldn't be the worst idea if only for the added brevity over an inline
code block.

I'll put it on my long-term low-priority stack. :)
