I'm trying to create signatures to match a particular series of large to very large spams whose main identifier is a <style> or <script> tag containing neither CSS or Javascript.

However, I'm having trouble finding a valid signature string for this pattern. I've tried to create similar signatures for other patterns in the past with equally little success.

The general case is <fixed string><limited-character-set gibberish>, with the fixed string about 10 characters, and the gibberish I want to match out to ~100 characters.

I'd just create a rule in SpamAssassin, but the problem is that these are *huge*, in some cases - 4+MB of nothing but symbols following <style>, for instance. Processing even ~200K versions of huge messages like that is far too costly in SA.

I don't really want to just create a whole bunch of extended signatures (.ndb) for common prefixes.

In PCRE, what I want a Clam signature to match on looks like:

/some string[asrtyu]{100}/

for suitable variations on "some string" and the character set "asrtyu".

Is this possible?
