If it's too large for a shell variable, too large for an array, to the point that you're trying to split it between multiple separate variables, that's a subtle hint, written in mile-high flashing neon letters, that it's a bad idea to try and load enormous amounts of text into a shell variable. You should be trying to make a loop of some sort, handle it piecemeal, instead of loading it whole.

Where did all that text come from? Are you loading it from file, or could you load it from file? What does or would the file look like?

NAME

       discover-modprobe.conf -- configuration file for discover-modprobe(5)

Description
       discover-modprobe.conf is the configuration file for discover-modprobe, which is responsible for retrieving and loading kernel modules.

	      Warning:

	      This file is a shell script, and as such is subject to a string variable assignment syntax. No space is allowed between the variable
	      name, the equal (=) sign, and the value(s) assigned. If multiple values are to be assigned, the list must  be  space-delimited  with
	      surrounding quotes.

       Two directives can be used in this file: types and skip. Both can be defined multiple times.

       types	 This describes the classes of hardware that should be scanned and queried.

       skip	 These	modules  should never be loaded. See the ``Files'' section for details on the mechanism for generating these entries auto-
		 matically.

Files
       /var/lib/discover/crash
		 A crash file written and erased each time discover-modprobe attempts to load a module. If  the  file  lingers,  the  computer	is
		 assumed  to have crashed while loading that module, and the module name is added to discover-modprobe.conf as a module to skip in
		 the future.
