Why not just skip the specifics except to say < 80 characters for all
lines? Don't mention 72, 79 or any other number than 80:
Maximum Line Length
There are still many devices around that are limited to 80 character
lines; plus, limiting windows to 80 characters makes it possible to have

disrupts the visual structure of the code, making it more difficult to
understand. Therefore, please limit all lines to less than 80
characters.
