Cage length has absolutely nothing to do w/ how large of a big cog the derailleur can handle. Zero. Nada. A medium or long cage only has one job...wrap more chain. The location of the upper pulley and the angle at which it moves determines the max cog size. And no...a long B screw or turning it around is NOT the right way to do it.
