            $fieldset->addField(

                ]
            );

            $subject->setForm($form);
        }

You can try the below code.

Only added 'validate-length':true in the tag.

<input value="Name" name="first_name" id="first_name_field" class="input-text" data-validate="{required:true,'validate-length':true, 'min_text_length':'20'}" type="text">

OR

<input value="Name" name="first_name" id="first_name_field" data-validate="{required:true, 'validate-length':true}" class="validate-length minimum-length-[0-9]+$ maximum-length-[0-9]+$ input-text" type="text" />
