12 minutes is the limit for a DJ cut at 33RPM, with a fixed pitch lathe. If your track has some dynamics, a variable pitch lathe can go up to 14 minutes. A variable pitch lathe cuts deeper for loud passages and narrower for quiet passages.
You can cut longer records but there's a cost in output volume. Ron Murphy has a useful chart that shows what you lose: http://soundenterprises.com/tc.html +8dB louder than a standard LP is a pretty big deal. That means your music is over twice as loud with respect to surface noise on the record. Plus deeper grooves are more resistant to skipping and wear.
