It tries to create an index with a key that is longer than
implementation restriction, which starting FB 2.0 (if I'm not mistaken)
is 1/4-th of the database page size.

Two solutions:

a) change the column definitions to store less data
b) create database with 16k page size and try again - maybe it will fit.
