I'm afraid so, only I think it should start with "mit" instead of "Mit"
("mit" being a preposition which is not ordinarily capitalized).
What a lovely example - I'm thrilled ;-)
If you really were to transcribe all the 89 names (not once, but twice),
I wonder whether there might be technical problems with the maximum
field length for 245. Or is there no such limit in American library
systems? I know that in Germany there are library systems which - at
least at the moment - wouldn't be able to cope with statements this long.
Deborah is right about keeping together statements in the same language
according to ISBD. Is there also a parallel title? Then it would look
marginally nicer:
Title proper : other title information / mit Beiträgen von Fernando
Aguiar [and 88 others] ; hg. von X = Parallel title proper : parallel
other title information / with contributions by Fernando Aguiar [and 88
others] ; ed. by X

It makes sense, but it's actually the outcome I was hoping to avoid as
this also happens to be a t.p. with an extensive list of contributors
(over 80 of them) on the t.p. (And yes, the abbreviations are on the
source.)
So it would end up looking like this:
Mit Beiträgen von Fernando Aguiar [and eighty-eight others] = with
contributions by Fernando Aguiar [and eighty-eight others]

*Subject:* Re: [RDA-L] 2.4.3.3 Parallel statements of responsibility
Ben,
I think the "/" should indeed be replaced by a "=" according to 1.7.3,
as it obviously is a case of parallel statements of responsibility
(i.e. two different RDA elements). But I'd find it odd to have only
"Mit Beiträgen von" as one of these statements of responsibility. As
this is only an introductory phrase, it somehow seems to miss the point.
I wonder if we could solve this problem by making use of RDA 1.7.7
"Lettersor Words Intended to Be Read More Than Once": "If a letter or
word appears only once but the design of the source of information
makes it clear that it is intended to be read more than once, repeat
the letter or word."
Perhaps we could argue that on these title pages, the names are
intended to be read twice, once with the German introductory phrase,
and a second time with the English introductory phrase. Then you'd have:
mit Beiträgen von X, Y, Z = with contributions by X, Y, Z ; hg. von A
= ed. by A
Does that make sense?

When a resource has parallel statements of responsibility on its
chief source of information, but only the "connecting words" are
parallel, not the names themselves, how does one treat this under RDA?
E.g., what I see on the t.p.:
Mit Beiträgen von/With contributions by ...
hg. von/ed. by ...
Is simply transcribing what I see enough, or should the "/" be
replaced with " = "?
Mit Beiträgen von = With contributions by ... ; hg. von = ed. by ....
Thanks,
