I don't know of any direct way of doing that, as you say, if the XML
is too long for a user-data field then it will be too long for any
similar section. The first idea that comes to mind is to create
another shape (now make the shape and its text invisible) and group it
with your original shape, add the XML to the invisible shape.
That may work for you but I can foresee many cases where that may not
be an acceptable solution.
