Or you can use different group names with the same gid and everything will work fine. This is what we do. ;) We use NIS for everything.

We haven't tried to defy that, but here's one way to get around the 1024 characters limit - just put multiple entries in the group file with the same group name and GID, but different users. Like so:
project1:*:100:usera,userb,... project1:*:100:userc,userd,...
The caveat to this is that you CANNOT use it with NIS. If you did it would only match the first line and none of the subsequent ones. We use NIS for everything except the group file for this reason. Our group files are coppied (via cron) by each client to keep them up to date.
