Yah, tough problem. I have been trying to find a way to increase 
those limits but no luck so far. Last year, Kevin posted to this list 
that they may consider some special licencing, but there was no 
follow up. I guess they can't justify making their operation more 
complicated on account of a few users.

On the other hand, I am not clear how having a single event will help 
you with the limits. If you can break down the scripts into 
functional chunks, then you can stuff them into a series of buttons 
or fields (hidden) and call them as needed. If you are after updating 
standalone-controlled stacks, it may be easier to make another 
standalone that opens the stack and modifies it. The standalone self 
can't be modified.
