Is it possible to increase the emote/smote character limit?

While RPing today, Lathlain mentioned (amusingly) how one day he would complete an smote without having the end cut off. I also have a tendency for my smotes to run into two or more separate smotes. I'm wondering what is the idea behind this? It seems like cutting off at a relatively arbitrary 260 (or thereabouts) character limit doesn't have much use. Coming from a MUSH I can understand that we don't necessarily want people making block poses constantly with 5 or 10 minutes between each action, but there must be a happy medium. Maybe doubling the number to something around 500 characters? I generally find my thoughts get cut-off around the 300-350 mark or so, it'd be nice to have a bit more leeway, and of course no one would be forced to make longer smotes than they do now.
