After getting no help from support, my solution was to split my new, 'too large' arc over 2 slots.
Eco
MArcs:
The Echo, Arc ID 1688 (5mish, easy, drama)
The Audition, Arc ID 221240 (6 mish, complex mech, comedy)
Storming Citadel, Arc ID 379488 (lowbie, 1mish, 10-min timed)

Sorry to say, it seems the creative community for the Mission Editor is largely dormant; I've not seen a single comment on Unions MA channel except for mine asking about bugs in weeks. The boards seem to be slow, slow, slow as well... only the farming thread is really getting responses.
But anyway; to share what I've found, my arc wasn't over the size of file, I was just getting the error above... I seem to recall it might be something to do with a broken HTML code or possibly a missing speech mark somewhere, but in the end, making a new mission, then cutting and pasting each mission I wanted to test from the old local document to the new one allowed me to get access to them. Use Notepad and just copy and paste the text across like any other text...
I did, briefly, see the error reoccur when I copied the 5th mission into the new version, but it vanished when I tried a second time and hasn't come back since. I've proof read the original countless times now, and I still can't see where the error is coming from, and the published version still works regardless, so I'll settle for this.
I also had to edit the spawn powers constantly trying to get the balance right, as the new AI behaviour has messed up my previous balance (and it broke the friendly AI with minions, I had to remove most offensive powers on one to get him to summon the robots a large part of some of the jokes relied upon), but it's slowly getting back to complete again. So all I can suggest is perseverance to you, and if you still have problems and I can help with them, I'll try to do so.
When I save a published arc to Local to work on it with the advanced editor tools, I get the error which says;
, "The file is too large.
And I can't then open it to test it. It's an exact copy of the published arc, which starts correctly (Save As Local, Exit, go to local version, test, too large error), and I know this came up constantly during the initial issue, and was fixed later; but it too seems to have creeped back... and I can't find a thread which details how to fix it. I think it's a broken code somewhere, but I can't recall what it was. Anyone remember the solution? Thanks!
