As soon as your strings can keep more characters than can
fit in the memory you can say that your strings have no limit on the size.

I suppose that can be done by using a count of variable size. For
example, we can store the length of count in 2 high bits of it:

00 - count is 1 byte and maximum length is 2^6-1 = 63 
01 - count is 2 bytes and maximum length is 2^6 * 256 + 255 = 16383
10 - count is 4 bytes and maximum length is 1073741823
11 - count is 8 bytes and maximum length is 9223372036854775807
