Hello, I'm forwarding the author's answer back to the mailing list. If anyone has some nice idea about possible solutions, let us/him know ... I don't remember how I was solving such problems so far, but I know that I have always been missing:
% maybe even some external file with extremely long code \starttikzpicture{picture name} ... \stoptikzpicture \placefigure{some figure}{\usetikzpicture{picture name}} If that was implemented, maybe \usetikzpicture could be inside an hbox?
