I think you'd mentioned before that it was during the compile, as opposed to the link, which I suspect, too. You can certainly break those down into two discreet steps to figure out which one it is. Assuming it is the compile then it would be in one of the .wixobj files, since that is what the compiler creates. You could do just the compile and then use a utility like FINDSTR to search through those .wixobj files and figure out which one it is. Then correlate that back to which source file it is. I suspect one of your $(var.aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd.eee) entries is being expanded out during the compile time to be the entry that is too long. If that were to hold true then it would be necessary for you to examine those var entries to see which one it is and how to shorten it to eliminate the error.
