st: xtabond2 - How deep can the instrument go?

Dear all,
My panel consists of 9000 houses X 22 quarterly metered consumption.
Unfortunately I have lot of persistence in the data.
After basing around different estimators I decided to settle with xtabond2.
Here is my simplified semi-log model.
xtabond2 y L4.y price L4.price L4.price L4.price L4.price WeatherVar
SeasonalDummies, noleveleq
gmmstyle(y, laglimits(16 16) equation(diff))
ivstyle(PriceVariables, p)
ivstyle((WeatherVariables, equation(diff))
ivstyle(SeasonalDummies, equation(diff))
twostep ar(5) robust
I started my instrument from Lag5 but none of them passed the Hansen
test or Arellano-Bond test for AR().
My burning question is... is it okay to use the 16th lag as instrument
given I have only 22 time steps?
Regards,
devank
