Long sentences are not bad grammar. They are just detailed and complex. However using complex modifying phrases as part of parallel structure is difficult and often confusing; the difficulty of writing a fluent and correct parallel is directly related to the size of the parallel.

Probably the easiest way to fix it is to change it from "so many poorly structured sentences that lead to ambiguity of meaning, so many "small" mistakes, such a lack of proper capitalization, missing or redundant punctuation, word misuse and run-on sentences that lose connection with their initial point," to:

"so many poorly structured sentences that lead to ambiguity of meaning, so many "small" mistakes and so much improper capitalization that acts to distract the reader, so many missing or redundant punctuation marks that hamper fluency, so much word misuse which undermines the writer's credibility, and so many run-on sentences that lose connection with their initial point"

However this sentence is still long, and should be split into a topic sentence and several explanation sentences instead of a 2 sentence paragraph.
