'long' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'large gent wandering hungary's borders' is the wordplay.
'large' becomes 'L' (eg in clothes sizes).
'wandering' indicates anagramming the letters.
'hungary's' becomes 'hy' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'borders' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are bordered by others).
'gent' anagrammed gives '[gent]'.
'[gent]'+'hy'='engthy'
'l' put within 'engthy' is 'LENGTHY'.
