Here is what I found in MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa368342(VS.85).aspx

"The length of text that can be entered can be limited by putting a number
from 0 to 2147483646 in curly braces at the beginning of the Text field in
the Control table. For example, if the text field starts with {80}, the
length of the string is limited at 80 characters. If no such limit is
supplied in the table, or if 0 is specified, the length is set to the
maximum possible (2147483646 characters). A negative or non-numeric value
will generate an error."

The part where it says that if no limit is specified the maximum possible
length is set seems to be incorrect. When no limit is set it seems the
maximum is 512.

Here is an example to set the maximum lenght to that maximum value:
<Control Type="Edit" Multiline="yes" Property="TEST" Id="TEST" X="20"
Y="220" Width="100" Height="20" Text="{2147483646}" />

Hope this helps.
