Entry of ZIP/Postcode in Event Submissions

Postcodes in the UK can have up to eight characters. The ZIP field on event submission only allows five characters. See specification at http://www.govtalk.gov.uk/gdsc/html/frames/Postcode.htm
Could the field in event submission be made more generally applicable throughout the world by making it bigger?
Can I hack my system to allow postcodes to be entered?

Text Formatted Code
<td><input type="text" name="zipcode" size="5" maxlength="5" value="{event_zipcode}"></td>Also, you'll have to modify your database. Run this SQL:

Alter table gl_events modify column zipcode varchar(8);
