Oh weird that it's limited so much. I'll probably just increase it to 5k characters and not bother with customization.
It seems to be defined in a single place and I couldn't find any discussion on justifying this particular length limit in the original commit or issue.

Pitch
Currently the "Why do you want to join?" field that appears on the main page when approvals are required for registration has a max character limit of 420 characters.
Motivation
This length is prohibitive if you request specific details from those seeking to register. For example, we ask for users to list who they know on the instance, how they want to contribute, and geographic location information.
Perhaps this could be added as an environment configuration similar to length of toot.
