Here is a post I had saved for study; maybe it will be of some help.

piecewise fetching will do it... here is an example. You send showlong a query
that selects 1 column (a long) and fetches 1 row (it'll only fetch the first
row):

create or replace procedure showlong( p_query in varchar2 ) as

    l_cursor    integer default dbms_sql.open_cursor;
    l_n         number;
    l_long_val  varchar2(250);
    l_long_len  number;
    l_buflen    number := 250;
    l_curpos    number := 0;

begin

dbms_sql.parse( l_cursor, p_query, dbms_sql.native );

dbms_sql.define_column_long(l_cursor, 1); l_n := dbms_sql.execute(l_cursor);

if (dbms_sql.fetch_rows(l_cursor)>0) then

        loop
            dbms_sql.column_value_long(l_cursor, 1, l_buflen, l_curpos ,
                                        l_long_val, l_long_len );
            l_curpos := l_curpos + l_long_len;
            dbms_output.put_line( l_long_val );
            exit when l_long_len = 0;
      end loop;

end if;

   dbms_output.put_line( '====================' );

dbms_output.put_line( 'Long was ' || l_curpos || ' bytes in length' );

dbms_sql.close_cursor(l_cursor);
exception

when others then

      if dbms_sql.is_open(l_cursor) then
         dbms_sql.close_cursor(l_cursor);
      end if;
      raise;

end showlong;
/

If you create it, then you can test it with:

SQL> begin
2 showlong( 'select text from all_views where rownum = 1' ); 3 end;
4 /
