TXT records haven't changed since RFC 1034 and 1035.
You can have multiple strings per record, and multiple records per
name. At the application level, some applications glom multiple
strings per record together, some treat them separately. There are a
few obscure designs that combine multiple TXT records at the same
name, but you're unlikely to run into any of them.
If you do use multiple TXT records, rather than multiple strings within
a single record, bear in mind that the order that the user/application
will see them is TAIAP unpredictable. You don't want to end up with
message.example. TXT "is displayed in the right"
message.example. TXT "only makes sense when it"
message.example. TXT "order!"
message.example. TXT "A paragraph of text that"
