It also seem to suggest the max passphrase length is > 512000 bytes( characters) while cryptsetup --help says its 512 > characters. Yes, copy&paste error, will fix it. Passphrase is interactively entered string (from real terminal, not stdint), keyfile is everything else. You can overwrite keyfile limit with explicitly setting --keyfile-size. (You cannot overwrite interactive password length though.) Both limits apply even for library.
