I thought of following (a 2.0 solution).
<xsl:template match="body">
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="p[1]" />
</body>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p">
<xsl:variable name="x"
select="string-length(string-join(preceding-sibling::p, ''))" />
<xsl:variable name="y" select="string-length(.)" />
<xsl:if test="$x < 1000">
<xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="($x + $y) < 1000">
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::p[1]" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
This is not tested.
