MAX_PACKAGE_WEIGHT is statically checked to be at least MAX_STANDARD_TX_WEIGHT:
static constexpr uint32_t MAX_PACKAGE_WEIGHT = 404'000;
static_assert(MAX_PACKAGE_WEIGHT >= MAX_STANDARD_TX_WEIGHT);

If you want to increase MAX_STANDARD_TX_WEIGHT beyond 404000, you'll also need to increase MAX_PACKAGE_WEIGHT, in your case for example to 804000.
Note that changing your own node's standardness rules is usually not enough to relay your non-standard transaction to a miner willing to include it in a block.

Here is what I changed:

       src/policy/policy.h
       

file /src/policy/packages.h
...static constexpr uint32_t MAX_PACKAGE_WEIGHT = 808'000;

...static constexpr unsigned int DEFAULT_ANCESTOR_SIZE_LIMIT_KVB{201}; /** default is 101 */
...static constexpr unsigned int DEFAULT_DESCENDANT_SIZE_LIMIT_KVB{201};

See ya!!
