Have never done it myself but I believe you want to look at
/etc/login.defs:
#
# Number of significant characters in the password for crypt().
# Default is 8, don't change unless your crypt() is better.
# Ignored if the "md5" or "blowfish" option is given to the
# pam_pwcheck module.
#
PASS_MAX_LEN 8
