はじめまして
How do you do

マクスと申します
My name is Max

今日からよろしくお願いします
Please take care of me from today onwards/Nice to meet you

Is it a little bit long-winded?
マクス > マックス

No, it is not long-winded at all.

If Max is your first name, you do not say 「マックスと申します。」. All you can use is your full name or last name in front of the 「と申します」.
