See the "name" data type.

As for enlarging it; I'll bet yes but you'll have to compile from source
to do this.

Someone on the hackers list can better explain :-)

Our table names are and fully descriptive, and our code depends on a
predictable sequence naming convention of the PG default

Yes, I know that its not a great idea to depend on consistent naming
