I suggest you use an external table instead - that limition shouldn't apply to them.

There are various options.

You could try using decode instead of case to shorten the code.

You could put the case statement in a function, then use the function as your expression, passing all of the possible parameters to it.

You could load the data into a staging table using either SQL*Loader or an external table (which does not allow expressions in the table creation), then use SQL to insert from the staging table to the target destination table without such a limit on the length of the case statement.
