The custom column I'm using in Calibre is set up as "Long text, like comments, not shown in the tag browser" and I'm not running up against a limit there, as I can type more text in the field manually with no problem. It looks like it's using the 420 character limit instituted for reading progress comments (as mentioned earlier in this thread), but I've definitely got the custom column linked with the "Review text column:" setting in the plugin. (I don't even know where reading progress comments would go, since there doesn't seem to be a place where you can choose which custom column they should be linked with.)
I rarely do write any reviews myself, so haven't really tested this. But, the only limit I can see in the code is that for the reading progress comments. There might be a limit in the API, but the documentation doesn't mention one. I'll have a play over the weekend and see what is going on.

For the progress comments, they aren't stored in the library. They will probably be different for each update, so reading them from a column might not be that useful. But, appending the new comment to an existing one might be the way to go.
