FUDforum v2.3.5
The table _users has field custom_tags as type 'text'

The table _custom_tags has that field set as type 'char(255)'

Table _custom_tags is what the admin interface uses to display/delete/enter custom tags.

(although custom tags manually entered into a user's custom_tag field in _users table also work, but probably cannot delete them using admin interface).

I'm having trouble in that my custom tags are starting to go over 255 characters (using HTML table and several img src tags that are a little long).

Can I safely change the field type from char(255) to text in table _custom_tags? Naturally I'd have to update /forum/sql/mysql/fud_custom_tags.tbl to reflect that change also if I did change the field type.

How does the above process work in v2.6.x?

The custom_status field in the users table is TEXT because it may need to store any number of custom tags. The individual custom tags are limited to 255 characters. You can if you like change the column defintion inside the custom_tags table to use TEXT to allow for longer tags.
