SQL is not designed for large in-line datasets. You are abusing IN. When you run into this problem it is a 'bad smell' coming from your DB schema, time for a refactor. If you really need more items than that then you can use a temporary table, insert all the values into it, and then use a select inside of the IN. Selects are not constrained by the in-line data limit. This is a fundamental limit for databases.
