"ran out of space" generally means that you exceeded a fixed
buffer size. Often this can be in a field of a TXT record but
it can be with name etc.
Note if you have
$ORIGIN example.net.
$ORIGIN foo
$ORIGIN bar
the effective $ORIGIN is
bar.foo.example.net.
Given you description of the problem I suspect that you have
exceeded the maximum size of a domain name.
