nope, I believe by default all switches capture the previous 30 seconds of any gameplay.

well, that would be called pressing the same button (2 * 30), which is 8 times each to make it a total of 5 minutes.

How to Record on the Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch and Switch Lite allow you to record up to 30 seconds of gameplay; you can record longer videos with a video capture device.

"can only capture 30 seconds of gameplay using the built-in screen recorder"

you asked, "keep holding the capture button makes a longer clip",
which however that does not make a clip, to make clips longer than 30 seconds you'd need an external device which is called a "capture card", these are two different ways of recording something on the switch, and are not recorded the same way.
