I count minifigs as 1-piece things, and use this format to describe them:

"Minifig with Red Legs, Black Hips, Red Arms, Black Hands and Diver Suit
Patterned Red Torso, with Glasses and Headset Patterned Male Head"

But I've seen that this is not so helpful for you, since it achieves both
"long" and "complex" at the same time..:-)

Since inventories are typically written with one line per item, in a fixed
column format, the approach you describe also achieves the coveted "doesn't fit
in the given space" award. ;)

I suppose it is helpful to remember that no single approach to flat-file
inventory-writing will help in all cases. :/
