Do they run maximum-length consists?

In the US I've been on a intercity Amtrak that was so late they combined it with the train ahead of it and had a massively long train (it had to stop twice at one or two shorter stations).

If you do this too many times, you end up with a train that never stops and rides along the world until the world is habitable again.
