No, the maximum is 16 for systems and software items (and 32 for devices), and it is enforced. As a guideline though you should try to fit the parent set's shortname in 8 characters if you can without making it incomprehensible. Clone set shortnames should be made by appending suffixes to the parent set's shortname.
