What does "failing" mean?
What does the log contain?
Have you tried to test your theory about size limitation?
What does the CGI documentation say about limitations on the redirect URL?
How do you "tack on" the extra parameter (show the code)?
What is the resulting URL?
What happens when you request that URL directly with a client?

Those are some examples of information that would be useful for anyone trying to assist you.

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
