I would have guessed what Stuart said last,... that somewhere in your code, you are running up against one of the orderfile field restrictions... but you say this exact code was working for you before so thats probably not the problem. I suggest that you try to isolate the issue with testing, but ultimately, the problem is because of your overly large URL's being passed.
