Yes:

common/objects.h:#define MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH
352     /* max. length of plugin output */

And from base/checks.c --

/* reaps service check results */
void reap_service_checks(void){
        service_message queued_svc_msg;
        service *temp_service=NULL;
        host *temp_host=NULL;
        time_t preferred_time;
        time_t next_valid_time;
        char temp_buffer[MAX_INPUT_BUFFER];
        int state_change=FALSE;
        int hard_state_change=FALSE;
        int route_result=HOST_UP;
        int dependency_result=DEPENDENCIES_OK;
        time_t current_time;
        int first_check=FALSE;
        int state_was_logged=FALSE;
        char old_plugin_output[MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH]="";
        char temp_plugin_output[MAX_PLUGINOUTPUT_LENGTH]="";
        char *temp_ptr;
        time_t reaper_start_time;
