Can someone edit the library reference page to make it clear that there's a hard-coded 32byte limit on I2C message sizes? I had to google around ambiguously before I found that info on a blog somewhere.
As an aside, would it be difficult to make the buffer size configurable? I imagine it's limited to save memory, but in this case I'd be happy to spare the memory to avoid having to write a multi-transaction wrapper to get my bytes through.
The " #define BUFFER_LENGTH 32 " is located in the Wire.h file in your arduino core folder. I'm sure you could edit it to a larger size to meet your requirements. Note that this is used twice, once for a rec buffer and once for a transmit buffer so go easy on size increase.

Earlier this week, it was mentioned that there are some intermediate buffers, too, for a total of 5 buffers that size. Seems overkill to me, but I haven't looked at the code to see if it is true, and, if so, necessary.

The second one is in twi.h

the buffers are defined in twi.c
