Answer: Nothing. Just run the transformation. The result is:

<LongString> 12rt,  dsfg,  dsfg,  ewrt,  wert,  xcvbs,  rwete,  ehgfh,
xxxxxasd,  awersdf,  dfgxvxcv</LongString>
<LongString> 76rt,  dsfg,  dsfg,  ewrt,  wert,  xcvbs,  rwete,  ehgfh,
xxxxxasd,  awersdf,  dfgxvxcv</LongString>
<LongString> wert,  ds4,  dsfg,  ewrt,  wert,  xcvbs,  rwete,  ehgfh,
xxxxxasd,  awersdf,  dfgxvxcv</LongString>
<LongString> wert,  d12,  dsfg,  ewrt,  wert,  xcvbs,  rwete,  ehgfh,
xxxxxasd,  awersdf,  dfgxvxcv</LongString>

If you want to copy all other nodes (unchanged) just put the identity rule
as the first template in the stylesheet:

   <xsl:template match="@*|node()">
     <xsl:copy>
       <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
     </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>

Now the output is:

<hello>
  <LongString> 12rt,  dsfg,  dsfg,  ewrt,  wert,  xcvbs,  rwete,  ehgfh,
xxxxxasd,  awersdf,  dfgxvxcv</LongString>
  <LongString> 76rt,  dsfg,  dsfg,  ewrt,  wert,  xcvbs,  rwete,  ehgfh,
xxxxxasd,  awersdf,  dfgxvxcv</LongString>
  <LongString> wert,  ds4,  dsfg,  ewrt,  wert,  xcvbs,  rwete,  ehgfh,
xxxxxasd,  awersdf,  dfgxvxcv</LongString>
  <LongString> wert,  d12,  dsfg,  ewrt,  wert,  xcvbs,  rwete,  ehgfh,
xxxxxasd,  awersdf,  dfgxvxcv</LongString>
</hello>
