Contigs larger than expected

Hoping someone can provide some insight. We sequence samples for the Ocular Microbiome. The samples are extremely low biomass so we use a linear amplification before targeting the V4 region. In the most recent batch, most of the contigs are much larger than we normally see. Usually everything is around 290 bp but this time we are seeing the result below. What could have happened? Do I need to trash these reads? Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

I usually toss any seq with N, so most of the big ones would be tossed in my processing.
