It´s nearly the same thing. For example I had a "Schactelsatz" over a whole page on an essay, while I was in 8th or 9th grade. This sentence could have easily been split in 3 or more. That you don´t have this stuff that much is a differents in writing culture ( at least I read this somewhere). It was explained that for english speakers it is considered good stil, if you write short sentences. Each comma left is a good one. In Germany it is exactly the other direction a sentence in an essay or something like that shouldn´t be compossed with too short sentences. In Germany it would be a sign of stupidity, if you would only use shorter sentences like in English.
