So far as I know, there is no internal limiter on the motor, nor a clutch. It seems to me that wiring a separate switch for retract, by-passing the magnetic limit switches, may set up a potential disaster if that switch is left on too long, or bumped on inadvertently when the flaps are fully retracted. What would break first?
