Acceptable for what?
Acceptable for a human to be able to remember?
Acceptable for pasting into an email?
Acceptable for expecting someone to type?

I don't like URLs longer than 80 characters because they often wrap in emails
and some MUAs don't allow split URLs to be clicked on.

Please define "sense".
If a URL embedded in a web page works when a user clicks on it, then it's
functional; I don't know whether it's then automatically sensible.
What's your definition for "acceptable"? That might help get some useful
