That's how I read the man page:
$ man sscanf
...
In addition to these flags, there may be an optional maximum field
width,
expressed as a decimal integer, between the % and the conversion.
If no
width is given, a default of ``infinity'' is used (with one exception,
below); otherwise at most this many bytes are scanned in
processing the
conversion. In the case of the lc, ls and l[ conversions, the field
width specifies the maximum number of multibyte characters that
will be
scanned. Before conversion begins, most conversions skip white space;
this white space is not counted against the field width.
The following conversions are available:
...
s Matches a sequence of non-white-space characters; the next
pointer
must be a pointer to char, and the array must be large enough to
accept all the sequence and the terminating NUL character. The
input string stops at white space or at the maximum field width,
whichever occurs first.
