Well, these fields are BLOBs, so any length should work as long as you have

Not true, a BLOB can hold 65535 bytes maximum. That's short enough
that it probably is worth adding a length check to the API.
Huh. I guess I was under the mistaken impression that MySQL is reasonable.
Thanks for the clarification.
(I just checked the default size limits for similar fields on SQLite and
Postresql: 1 gigabyte for both. Yay for MySQL.)
