Hi Claudio et al., Karsten is right that in general you might be more likely to get your questions about Wikidata/Wikibase answered (or answered more quickly) on the wikidata-tech list.
I think that you should be able to configure these limits but I'm unsure off the top of my head what the upper-bound might be. The documentation for the string length limits can be seen in the "string limits" section of the Wikibase Options documentation. [1]. I think you're interested in changing 'multilang'. Hopefully that helps. Cheers!
