Overly short limits butcher semantics, killing a sense of rhythm and continuity. I'm not reading a raw stream of characters, but a sentence-like message intended for humans to understand.
Overly long lines have a similar flaw - they compress too much information, so there's quite literally, no rhyme or reason.
So my approach is to have some sort of honor system: write something that you believe that will be readable to a variety of humans, where similar things are grouped together, and different things are laid out apart.
I do have a limit like 240, but that's more like a guardrail, not an invitation for every line to be that long.
