Okay, maybe it wouldn't be a complete headache. Assuming you've extracted your contents.xml file, you could do the following:

cat contents.xml | grep "<text>" | awk '{print length, $0}' | sort -nr | awk '{$1=""; print $0 }' > lines.txt

Then use your favorite editor to look at lines.txt and find the biggest notes fields (they should be sorted in descending size). The biggest note won't necessarily be the longest note as displayed in OF.
