As you can see in the attached image there are new options on the "Advanced" tab in VoxCommando.
The group "Phrase Processing" tells VC how to deal with long phrases in payloadXML files.
The best way to explain the settings is with an example. Consider the song: "I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow Instrumental"
now we look at all the different phrases that we must listen for just for this one song...

[too short] I Am

the total length of the song is 42, so it passes the first test "Maximum phrase length" = 60. If it were longer than 60 characters then it would either be skipped (not included at all) or truncated (only the first 60 characters kept).
then we always start by adding the entire phrase, all words, no matter what.
then we look at all the sub-phrases and test their length.
in this example the minimum length is 4 characters, but VC will automatically raise this value a little bit if the phrase is very long.
Our maximum sub-phrase length will reject some of the longer subphrases such as "Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow Instrumental", but remember that the whole phrase will always be kept.
by setting these rules we have cut then number of sub-phrases down from 44, to 23. If you look in your library, you will probably find some very long titles where the number of possible sub-phrases could be VERY high (greater than 100).
If possible you should edit titles such as:
Take on Me (ft. Carlitta Durand)
since you would probably never request this song using the (ft. Carlitta Durand), by removing the (ft. Carlitta Durand) the song will have 3 words instead of 6 and then number of subphrases will go down. It will also be less likely to confuse the song with other songs. Consider a song with 8 words in the actual title, followed by (featuring Bob Dylan, Joe Jackson, and Peter Tosh). This will result in many sub-phrases that only cause more strain and use system resources for nothing. By removing the last 8 words we reduce the sub-phrases significantly.
