First, use the Chrome browser and open up the developer console (ctrl+shift+I or cmd+alt+I). Go to the Console tab, clear it, try t submit and see it fail, then look for any error messages. There will probably be one. If so, copy-paste it all.
It seems fairly likely that there is a specific spot in there that causes it to fail, rather than it depending on length. See if you can create a minimal test case. If you created the post by copy-pasting from an external program, it may be that that program inserted something hidden which is causing the problem. If you click the ‘HTML’ icon on the toolbar, it will show you the HTML source of your article, including any hidden things that might’ve hitched a ride on your clipboard.
When I sliced the entire text in small parts (all copied from Open Office) I manage to publish drafts, some with errors such as missing spaces.
When I re-copy from the drafts to another, bigger draft, then many spaces become missing, and part of the text is aligned to the right border, part isnt.
