  But 196 years in a cave also seem quite impossible ?

  Only God knows how many years and how many they were.
  
  statistical data is not God’s real concern in this story as its evident from these verses

Impossible for who? God?

  The point is do we have to take this incident literally or could it be that God is trying to make a larger point by narrating a story that doesn’t necessarily has to be taken literally ?

In order to take something as an allegory we have to have a credible evidence in the primary sources of religion (Quran and sunnah) for it to be so. We can’t just decide by our own will.

Once we truly understand and believe that God is all powerful, all capable, who created this entire universe, who gives life and death, then what’s the hurdle in believing that he can make some people sleep for 196 years? Do we not believe that all of us will be brought back to life in the hereafter, after we have been put to sleep (death) for what could even be thousands of years?
