There is, of course, a correct solution to this line length problem. The ideal maximum line length is dependent on how much horizontal space you've got

No, since that fails to account for the dependency I mention above. -- \ “Science is a way of trying not to fool yourself. The first | `\ principle is that you must not fool yourself, and you are the | _o__) easiest person to fool.” —Richard P. Feynman, 1964 | Ben Finney
