Look just at the top of the editor. You have the resolutions list, and, 
just to the right, there is a box where you can write some text. That's 
the command line box. You can put a «+c» to continue an interrupted 
render there.

You can also use it to set the resolution, change the antialias options 
and other things.
+w36000 +h1000 +a0.0001 +r4
Will result in an image that is 36000 pixels wide, 1000 pixels high, set 
the antialias threshold to 0.0001 and use 4 levels of recursion.
