Assuming you do not apply for a reentry permit before you leave, the maximum stay is 1 year. If you apply for a reentry permit before you leave, the maximum stay is 2 years.
If you wish to stay longer than two years, you will need both a reentry permit and a returning resident visa. You must apply for the reentry permit before you depart the US. You don't necessarily need to receive it before you leave.
If you stay longer than 2 years, there is no guarantee you will be able to get a returning resident visa.
Note: your US green card may be taken away if your travel record suggests that you reside outside the US more than in the US. So, coming to the US for two weeks every 11 months will at some point result in cancellation of your green card and an inability to return to the US using the green card.
