SQL Server String field longer than 4000 characters

Database Driver & Version

SQL Server

Description

We have the problem that text fields longer than 4000 characters are not created correctly on the SQL Server, because instead of e.g. NVARCHAR(5000) we must of course use NVARCHAR(MAX)...
We use:

Schema::create('modules', function (Blueprint $table) {
               $table->unsignedBigInteger('id')->primary();
               $table->string('name', 5000)->nullable()->default(null);
               $table->longText('options')->nullable()->default(null);
               ...

Is there a way to configure this?
If not, you could simply correct it in https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/12.x/src/Illuminate/Database/Schema/Grammars/SqlServerGrammar.php:

protected function typeString(Fluent $column)Add commentMore actions
    {
        if ($column->length > 4000){
            return 'nvarchar(max)';
        } else {
            return "nvarchar({$column->length})";
        }
    }

Steps To Reproduce

Create a table with an string field and length > 4000 on MS SQL Server

Schema::create('modules', function (Blueprint $table) {
               $table->unsignedBigInteger('id')->primary();
               $table->string('name', 5000)->nullable()->default(null);
               $table->longText('options')->nullable()->default(null);
               ...
