You can disable the comment cut off by adding the following TS to your 
template's TS Setup:

plugin.tx_veguestbook_pi1.wordcut = 0

You can allow an unlimited number of comments to be displayed in one 
page by adding the following TS to your template's TS Setup:

plugin.tx_veguestbook_pi1.limit = 0
