Just use version 1.8.0 or bleeding-jumbo.  There's usually no point in
having incremental try password lengths this high, though.

In that case, you're currently out of luck with that.

Luckily, given the question you had asked off-list, you don't need to
have incremental generate your entire candidate passwords.  Rather, you
have a (longer) known portion and a shorter unknown portion.  You can
implement cracking that without reconfiguring incremental mode (in older
JtR) for lengths beyond 8.

I'll reply to your other posting on that.
