oracle doesn't know "bigint". it knows NUMBER data type, and FLOAT ... for large numbers.
which is defined in the target column, not the sequence object

with MAXVALUE 999999999999999999999999999 being the default, that should be big enough?

so you might want to clarify the question or actual problem?
