Why would very large text values effect the speed of a seq scan that

I'd actually suppose it's the smaller values (up to a few hundred bytes)
that impact this the most. Really wide fields would be pushed
out-of-line.
Meaning that the portion of the text value stored in the companion TOAST
table would be ignored for this type of query, correct? That's why I'm
concerned.
How much of a TOAST'd field is actually stored in the main heap table?
Is there a way to configure that amount?
