For long pages, I tend to use Ctrl-Home or Ctrl-End to respectively navigate 
to the start or end of the page, and then click on the edit link I expect to 
find there. ;-)

You can, of course, split your page into sections (perhaps subpages), include 
them in another page (perhaps a parent page), and configure the sections' 
Include macros to show edit links for those section pages. See the following 
for some ideas:
