AFAIR, over a screen full of text when truncate-lines is set to nil.
It should be over 5k symbols in my screen.

I remember this because it triggered a significant fontification
slowdown caused by some (now fixed) Org regexp hitting too many matches
on that line.

Also, I just checked some of my org files and found a >15k chars long line.
