TCP reassembly - How do you determine the PDU length when there is no length field?

Assuming one message that gets split into multiple TCP packets of length 10 bytes. Foo format contains the type of message but there is no length field. Foo contains a text field which could be variable. The end of the message is marked. { return MAX_MESSAGE_LEN }

dissect_foo(...) { tcp_dissect_pdus(...get_foo_pdu_length...) }

Please provide an example where the user needs to determine the length of the PDU and there is no length field. All your examples have a length field in the protocol.
