Hello Waldemar

Yes you certainly can do that if you wish.

The rest of the space in the header is used for extended attributes. If you 
expand the symlink alias then it will just eat into that a bit.

btw: Just for my education... How big do you want to make it? Where are you 
needing such long symlinks.
