Why not just skip the specifics except to say < 80 characters for all
lines? Don't mention 72, 79 or any other number than 80:
Maximum Line Length
There are still many devices around that are limited to 80 character
lines; plus, limiting windows to 80 characters makes it possible to have
several windows side-by-side. The default wrapping on such devices
disrupts the visual structure of the code, making it more difficult to
understand. Therefore, please limit all lines to less than 80
characters.
