I've been using a bit of code that Arthur Knapp wrote that bends the

between chevrons. It works for strings less than 255 characters. This
is the handler:
on HexToStyle (hexString)
set s to run script "<<data styl" & hexstring & ">>"
return s
end HexToStyle
I'd like to hand it longer strings because most things that I want to
run through it have about eight style runs (8*40 + 4 = 324). The
alternative is to break the styled text into individual style runs and
concatenate the styled text.

You could, alternately, write the data to a file and 'run script' the
file.
