Ed,

Perhaps you could use the DBMS_SQL Define_Column_Long and Column_Value_Long procedures to manipulate the Long?

Converting the Long to a LOB using To_LOB function, then manipulating it with the DBMS_LOB package might do, too.

How do you determine the size, in bytes, of a long field?

Please. No tape measure jokes.
