I'm also subscribed to the lilypond-users list, also hosted at gnu.org, and its digests have the same format, so I assume it's also mailman. Lilypond-users, however, delivers several digests per day and there seems to be a size cap on each one. If there are more posts in a day, I get more digests, not one longer digest.

So I suppose the maximum digest size is already configurable without logging an issue with the mailman devs.
