Not counting any suites, which are made up of separate pieces, the
longest single piece that I know is a ricercar in the Siena lute book.
The score (over 400 bars) is available at

.B.39_siena_lute_book_1590/pdf/ N0. 131
I should add however that the Siena ricercar seems to be a composite,
made up of various sections from already existing pieces that were more
or less 'glued together'. Some time ago, I identified two: one source
for the ricercar is Fantasia Prima from Adriaenssen 1584, another one
is a fantasia that is found in two sources only: Marsh and
Thistlethwaite. Both quotations are very lengthy (dozens of bars) and
exact. I am at the moment trying to identify other pieces that were
used for the Siena ricercar.
