Nope. In terms of the longest bols thats not to long. Ravi Bellaire, & Taranath have the really long ones. I recently saw Pandit Sadanand Naimpalli perform 2 of them in a tabla solo . These tabla compositions often considered slokas and there very cool. There is one particular one for shiva that Sadanand started out with reciting and playing , It's about 10 minutes long. You could ask sadanand about them his email is on his website and he's very good with students.
Also you may not be aware of composition called Uthan, these can range 10 to 20 cycles of teental.
But you could paste the long composition in here I would like to see it

The Ganeshparan is written down in the booklet included with the CD Masters of Tala 'Pakhawaj Solo' by the Great master Raja Chatrapati Singh. Very recommended!
