I don't think there's any way to work around the problem.  I'm
guessing that what you see us the fundamental 126-character limitation
on DOS command-line length.

If you are willing to invoke the programs from the DOS prompt, instead
of using the "Send To" menu, and if the program you need to run is a
DJGPP program, then you could use wildcard characters to specify many
files in just a few dozen characters.  For example, a command line
such as "frobnicate .../*.[ch]" will invoke the fictitious command
`frobnicate' on all .c and .h file in the current directory and all of
its subdirectories, recursively.
