A suggestion,

Paste this into a batch file and save it as disable_path_limit.bat:

REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem" /v "LongPathsEnabled" /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

Add this section to the [Files] section in your script:

Source: disable_path_limit.bat;  DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy

Then somewhere in your script (e.g. just after arc.ini is extracted for example), add this code section:

ExtractTemporaryFile('disable_path_limit.bat');
Exec2(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\disable_path_limit.bat'),'',false);
DeleteFile(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\disable_path_limit.bat'));

This is definitely a much simpler approach, rather than additional inno-setup-native functionality, and it seems to work a treat! Cheers for the help mate!

UPDATE: It seems that FreeArc doesn't like Long Paths regardless of the registry, looks like I'll have to resign myself to using a shorter default folder name.
