One technical (and probably way out of scope!) way to handle this would 
be to use a temp table, do a batch insert of the values, then change the 
" in (v1, v2, v3...)"  to " in (select v from temp)".

However, please read the comments on that JIRA issue.  For some databases, this restriction is not just on the number of elements in a in-list, but on the number of parameters overall.  Splitting these 2 in-lists about into 4 does not address that.
