residency status, more than 180 days needed, etc

Hi guys
Started visiting Brazil since April, in and out a couple of times, now suddenly I will need extend the visa/stay as I plan to exit Brazil for two weeks in January and coming back again in February. Then after I did the research, I realize foreigners only allowed to stay 180 days per year. This is a big bummer, as I re-entered Brazil in August, plan to leave in January 2020, and coming back in February, stay another half a year. So this is against the rule of 180 days?

So what do you guys suggest me to do?

My own thoughts after I read a lot via internet:
1. Apply temporary residential visa (hope I can stay for more than 180 days since April 2019) via research or artist categories
2. Extend another 90 days (not sure if federal police allows it, but I already stayed in Brazil since April for like 130 days) and leave in January and not coming back until July - will they really deny your entry if I come back in February 2020?

Thanks for any inputs!!!!
