This come up all the time in our natural gas standards group. Our
implementation guides provide a max length for fields, and indicate if
that max is less than that specified in ANSI X12. We only change a max if
there is a business reason to do so. For the most part, I don't think that
EDI documents for a good basis for a repository because these documents are
too generic.

The more interesting question is: do EDI documents provide a good
basis for building a data model/repository. In my opinion they do as
they are built from consensus among a set of users of these documents
and are regularly reviewed and tried in practice. It would certainly
be a more sensible approach than just guessing what a good limit would
be.
