You can't set a limit in Lightroom.

It's possible to write a Lua script that calculates the length of the keywords and which would identify those close to 2000 characters, but I haven't seen or written such a script.

Although there is probably some field limit in the EXIF keyword field, I am not sure what it is. LR is happy to associate keyword after keyword w/o regard to the resulting length of the exported keyword field. All that I can suggest is that you make your keyword phrases as compact as possible.
In your example "adult above age 30" could be simplified to ">30". This would infer that the person is an adult. Also you have 4 phrases that mean "sleep" Do you really need all of them, especially the more wordy phrases?

The IPTC Keyword Field should be unbounded: IPTC Photo Metadata Standard 2017.1
