You can put an unlimited amount of text into a TextEdit text view, for

I imagine.

set value of text area 1 of scroll area 1 of window "Untitled" to
"<string>"

What would be the point of this, since the window has only one scroll area containing only one text area? Poor though TextEdit's dictionary is, it does at least allow:

tell app "TextEdit" to set text of document 1 to "<string>"

Now if everyone on this list could file a bug complaining that we cannot get or set the selection in TextEdit, perhaps we'd make a bit of progress.
