a partial reply

(Just put that large mp blob in a file and call that one instead of 
passing through tex's tokenizer:

\startMPpage
     input test.mp ;
\stopMPpage

then in order to save runtime do

draw image (
draw (220.852, 127.175) ;
draw (226.248, 128.606) ;
draw (221.840, 129.541) ;
draw (280.733, 100.927) ;
draw (276.968, 83.053) ;
draw (251.644, 83.879) ;
) withpen pencircle scaled 0.16875 withcolor (0.976, 0.702, 0.204) ;
