My favorite hack was for our 2018 Michigan in Tokyo event. I created 2 sites, one in English and one Japanese. With a character limit of 2500 for both admission item and session descriptions we need a work around for the Japanese site. The descriptions where just around 4500 characters. 

With a custom data tag the character limit is 5000, so I was able to add the Japanese text to a custom data tag and then just add the data tags to the descriptions which acceded the character limit.
