I don't recall using a specific length. the original .rst files were generated 
by the pandoc tool, so it could be that there is a max length in there.

Feel free to make a call on this.

Regarding the networking* files:

The managing_network.rst file was in the install doc until recently. I did not 
like have duplicated content, so I actually tried to separate the content 
between install and admin.
You are right that the two files look very similar, but I don't recall which 
one is the first one, probably networking2 is the latest and you can use that 
one, and remove managing_networks.
Just make sure that you are not loosing any content.

Feel free to re-arrange the admin doc, improve the flow of the section, split 
the files etc.

I am going to work on the install doc mostly, and pdion891 is working on the RN.
