If we want to continue going backwards in history: What about 1LYZ,
2LYZ, 3LYZ, 4LYZ, 5LYZ, 6LYZ that were deposited with the PDB in 1977?
The corresponding JRNL was published in 1974:

lysozyme., J.Mol.Biol., v82, pp.371-391, 1974

P.S. I knew there had to be some advantage to getting older.
Coming back to more recent times, I believe that the longest file in the
PDB (including ribosome structures and NMR structures) is still 1HTQ at
985,553 lines. This contains a 10-model crystallographic refinement of
glutamine synthetase.

Presumably this came out of the work described in the reference that Bart
cited:
Highly constrained multiple-copy refinement of protein crystal structures
