When reading it can be hard to track a long line of text that goes all the way to the edges of the screen. That's probably why it's recommending you keep it short. You don't want your viewers to have to think about moving their eyes from left to right and missing the visual action.
Also make sure your line breaks make sense with the phrasing of what the characters are saying.
