Limiting size limits for LISTAGG function

Greetings fellow humans
I've checked around but can't find an answer to this.
How can you do a limit to the size of a LISTAGG result, say, to a column width of 48?

I ran an SQL (complex) statement given to me to use to generate a output file that will feed to a spreadsheet report. The SQL generates a database file but one of the columns is
LISTAGG(REFERENCE, ', ') WUTHIN GROUP (ODER BY REFERENCE) AS MASTER_BOL
but it generates a fixed column size of 4000. Can I wrap all that inside a maximum size, truncated if necessary?
