Size of LONG (bigger than 32K)

I know it's possible to get a size of a LONG field in a row using the PL/SQL block to read it into a variable, and then take the LENGTH() of that variable. But due to PL/SQL limitations, that only works to lengths of 32K. Is there any way to determine the size of a LONG field if it's longer than 32K?
