Can we create a field with length of string(16000)?

Hi,

This is not possible, the max length you can get to is 4000, which creates a text area, like description field.

You can try creating a field on your Personal Developer instance. Check the Dictionary (System Definition > Dictionary, add the Max length field to the list), and you'll see plenty of fields with lengths greater than 4k. It won't be a problem.
