100 character limit, does not work with Picasa

A 100 char limit is being imposed on the 'Path to the main gallery folder:' text input field. Picasa RSS feeds typically go 110+ chars. The example on the module description pages instructing how to post Picasa reed links as the file path even clocks in at 117 chars:

[bg|http://picasaweb.google.com/data/feed/base/user/tjfulopp/albumid/5290148828710951169?alt=rss&kind=photo&hl=en_US]

I couldn't find any thing in the config settings to override this and, in a trivial attempt, I tried to circumvent the maxlength on the input field via jQuery:

$('#edit-brilliant-gallery-folder').attr('maxlength','120');

This did reset the maxlength attribute value, but as you'd expect Drupal enforces the maxlen on the backend.

Am I missing something obvious?

thanks!
