You need tt_products 2.0.0 or higher for this.

Set
plugin.tt_products.max_note_length = 200

And to have special settings for the single view page, you have to 
create a special single view page with 'Products: single view' selected. 
You cannot use single and list view on the same page when you need 
different TypoScript settings for them.

Set
plugin.tt_products.max_note_length = 2000
in a special template for the single view.
