Find N Largest Integers

Write a Python function `find_n_largest(nums: List[int], n: int) -> List[int]` that takes a list of integers `nums` and an integer `n`, and returns the `n` largest integers from the list in descending order. If `n` is greater than the length of the list, return all elements sorted in descending order.

#### Example Usage
```python [main.nopy]
find_n_largest([25, 35, 22, 85, 14, 65, 75, 22, 58], 3)  # Output: [85, 75, 65]
find_n_largest([25, 35, 22, 85, 14, 65, 75, 22, 58], 2)  # Output: [85, 75]
find_n_largest([25, 35, 22, 85, 14, 65, 75, 22, 58], 5)  # Output: [85, 75, 65, 58, 35]
```

#### Constraints
- The input list `nums` will contain integers.
- The value of `n` will be a non-negative integer.
- The function should handle cases where `n` is 0 or greater than the length of the list.

    """
    Returns the n largest integers from the list nums in descending order.

    Args:
    nums (List[int]): The list of integers.
    n (int): The number of largest integers to return.

    Returns:
    List[int]: A list of the n largest integers in descending order.
