Thanks much for the quick answer, I see the problem now. I wonder how these large wikitexts could be written on my target Wiki. Is there a way to 'force' the PHP max execution time limit through the API? If not, I guess I will have to contact a sysop..
That would kind of defeat the purpose of the max execution time. AFAIK the page should still have been saved, just not have been parsed completely. You can check this in the history view.
You can ask a sysop to raise the max exec time, or to import these large pages using the importTextFile.php maintenance script.
