Hello,
Multi line text field has character limit of 4000 characters. Go through below article
https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_blog&sys_id=4eda1ee4db7d6f001089e15b8a9619c8
Also instead of using Multi line text and changing max limit it is always sensible to use HTML type field since it is tinymce and don't have character limit.

Hi lucky,
You will find some additional detail in this KB Article below. Everyone usually suggest against it. I haven't tried so I cannot tell my personal opinion.
Fields in ServiceNow accept string inputs greater than the sys_dictionary max_length value
