This macro allows including long hexadecimal constants on one line, like an arbitrary extension of the .dbyt (2 byte big endian constant).

.macro mbyt_hex2nibs highnib, lownib

  ; "dec0de" the hex nibbles
  .if highnib >= 'A' && highnib <= 'F'
    highdig = highnib - 'A' + 10
  .elseif highnib >= 'a' && highnib <= 'f'
    highdig = highnib - 'a' + 10
  .elseif highnib >= '0' && highnib <= '9'

    lowdig = lownib - 'a' + 10
  .elseif lownib >= '0' && lownib <= '9'
    lowdig = lownib - '0'
  .endif
  .byte highdig * $10 + lowdig
  ;.out .sprintf(".byte %02x", highdig * $10 + lowdig)
.endmacro

.macro mbyt inbytes
  ; thanks to thefox who recommended .set
  .local pos
  pos .set 0
  .out .sprintf("%s", inbytes)
  .repeat .strlen(inbytes)
    .if pos < .strlen(inbytes)
      nib .set .strat(inbytes, pos)
      ; these characters can be used as separators
      .if (nib = ' ' || nib = ',' || nib = '$' || nib = '_')
        pos .set pos + 1
      .else
        mbyt_hex2nibs nib, {.strat(inbytes, pos + 1)}
        pos .set pos + 2
      .endif
    .endif
  .endrepeat
.endmacro

; use it like this:
; mbyt "09F91102 9D74E35B D84156C5 635688C0"
