Adding Media URL (MMS) breaks Long SMS handling

When you send regular SMS messages larger than 160 characters with this module the segments intermittently appear out-of-order on the receiving mobile phone, often with the shorter segment ABOVE the first (longer) segment.

When you add a Media URL (MMS) to a message longer than 160 characters, the "Long SMS handling" setting for "Send multiple massages" ALWAYS re-assembles the message segments out of order.

This results in the second (and third and subsequent) segments of the message appearing BEFORE the downloaded image.

The twilio site says long messages can be concatenated by using the "Messages resource URI"

...but I haven't been able how to figure out how to do it using the Drupal Twilio functionality.

Providing the concantenation facility would be a nice fix to this issue. (clickatell handles this effortlessly.) Unfortunately clickatell doesn't appear to offer MMS ability, so I'm forced to try twilio, but this issue of out-of-order re-assembling of an long MMS makes it very hard to use.
