I haven't tried using two floppy drives, but when booting from a floppy to a CD, I use the lrpkg.cfg file to list all my packages. By putting the list of packages in lrpkg.cfg (do not need LRP=), you are not limited by the 255 character limit.
The 255 character limit discussion is buried in the Bering User's Guide chapter 11.5, http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/bubooting.html, under *Booting from a CD-Rom with isolinux*. I currently use Dachstein CD and boot from a floppy, but have been experimenting with a Bering CD, booting from a floppy.
Maybe this will solve your problem. If not, maybe one of the more knowledgeable people will know the answer.

Subject: Re: [leaf-user] syslinux.cfg: line length limit? --> incomplete 2nd floppy
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2003 17:19:51 -0500
I'm using two floppy drives, both formated to 1680. If I can get the line
length down, it will attempt to load more from the 2nd floppy, until it hits
the line length limit. Surely others have run up against a similar issue
with two fd's and ppp0 --> eth0. Thanks. -- Bob
