Description

In the UI input, the number of glyphs is currently limited to 480 (with 8k max bytes). For larger groups with guidelines, more space is needed.
This patch increases the number of glyphs and bytes by a factor of eight to 3840 and 65536.

On the test device a group description of new maximum length could be set and it could be viewed by other devices running the official release.
