Thanks for the help everyone. I had heard about 255 characters before but couldn't find any definitive references to it. The issue with characters being cut off may be a concern - we'll need to cram some important words in the first characters of the text.
And yes, we have long descriptions for the images already. As I said at the start, the longest is 280 characters so I'll assume that is safe. Now, what is that old saying about "assume"...
