You have to construct the string in pieces:

    html_insert_move ("\n\n<html>\n\n"
		      + ...
		      + "content=\"\">");

This limitation is actually documented in the slang user's guide:

\sect3{Strings} #%{{{

    A string literal must be enclosed in double quotes as in:
#v+
      "This is a string".
#v-
    Although there is no imposed limit on the length of a string,
    string literals must be less than 256 characters in length.  It is
    possible to go beyond this limit by string concatenation, e.g.,
#v+
     "This is the first part of a long string"
       + "and this is the second half"
#v-
