Nope. Everything you put in 'append' statements or in the 'default linux' line gets 
added to the kernel parameter
line. This has a limit of 255 characters. you can
cat /proc/cmdline
to see that it got cut after 255 chars.

To get around that limit, remove the LRP=....
part from syslinux.cfg and create a file in the same directory as syslinux.cfg with 
the name 'lrpkg.cfg' containg
the list of packages, in your case

root,etc,local,modules,iptables,ppp,shorwall,ulogd,dnscache,weblet,netutils,tcpump,libz,sftp,ssh,sshd,sshkey

At boot, the list of packages will be read from this file instead of the LRP= parameter

No package remains permanent. At boot time only the packages listed in the LRP= 
parameter or in the lrpkg.cfg file
are loaded.
