I've increased TeX-auto-parse-length to a bigger value and parsing works
fine. I've just misinterpreted the length as number of lines and not as
number of bytes (i associate "size" with that). Perhaps you can change
the documentation to 

"Maximal length (in bytes) of TEX file that will be parsed."

to make it clear

Anyway, thanks for your support
