Splitting a node doesn't have to be done in the simplest way. In a
case like that, you can divide the actions into categories (purposes?)
that meaningfully belong together, then write a subnode for each
purpose. This offers a chance to explain them together, which is
often very helpful.
I've done this sort of thing many times, and I aim for 50 lines or
even less.
Give it a try!
