I know there are patches to core, but they were never backported to Drupal 6 from what I can tell.
How can this be overridden in a theme?

You should be able to fix this by using hook_form_alter() and override the default maxlength for the input field, and then change the field in the db to varchar(255) if it isn't already.
Another option would be to use a token value for the path and change the value on output using theme_menu_item().
Perhaps the best option after all would be the Custom Tokens module. I haven't tried it so I can't say if it works.
The downside with tokens is that you would have to make one token per URL, or possibly use a part of the URL if it's generally the same.

Keep in mind that, if you alter the schema of a table defined from another module, you need to also implement
hook_schema_alter().– apaderno ♦Nov 23, 2012 at 4:00
