Ouch! My memory is that 802.15.4 limits the EB to 127 bytes (plus the link-layer overheads), and that maximum-length frames can be transmitted in the default slot size. And that 802.15.4 fixes the EB format in a way that does not provide for fragmentation. So I don't see how you could even transmit an extra-long EB, much less have to worry about a slot for it. But I suspect that my inexperience is making me overlook how extra-long frames can be handled. I can see a way of avoiding this by partitioning the optional IEs you want to send in the EB into several subsets, transmitting first an EB with subset 1, then an EB with subset 2, etc. I suppose you'd need yet another IE to tell the listener which subset this is and how many subsets there are so that the listener could know when it had heard the whole set.
