White has clear advantage but can black hold ?

SF dev with many 7-piece EGTBs doesn't see a way for black to save it:

But the way to win is a rather long one, isn't it? Won 7men is reached at 46th and then there's still 39 more to mate.
:)
Crystal with 6men has an eval about as high after some Forward- Backward, and way about as long, as it seems. Took a second one output of 34 more moves to mate.

Sorry for german abbrevations.

Seems it's just one more YAEEP (yet another endless endgame position) of Jon's regards
