I suspect that the OP wants to be able to use a path/filename length greater than the 32,760 Unicode characters (maximum 255 per block) allowed by FAT32. Given the complex directory structure required for a directory based library to allow easily locating a book, path lengths can and do get ridiculously long.
For compatibility reasons, calibre imposes a maximum 185(?) character limit on path/filename length which can lead to truncation with moderately complex setups such as using the directory for tags, series, multiple authors, subtitles and anything else that you can think of when sending books to your ereader.
