I can get my parser to parse the desired format if I change it
slightly into:

parseFile
    : fields
    ;
fields
    : field (COMA)?
    | field COMA fields 
    ;
field
    : id EQUAL fieldValue
    ;
fieldValue 
    : (fieldValuePart PLUS)* fieldValuePart
    ;
fieldValuePart 
    : STRING
    | NAME
    ;
id
    : NAME
    ;

But then I cannot place a greedy option to sop the warning.

and I don't understand what has changed ;-) The rewriting seems
equivalent to me!
