There is no reason why OpenPGP can't impose a
tighter limit, and a quick scan of the doc did

That won't help.  Some editors used by MUAs feel too clever and don't
allow a user to enter lines longer than the actual window.  When copy
and pasting an OpenPGP armored message it might get wrapped around.
So even 76 chracters may be too much.

A possible solution to this is to have the MUA (plugin) to cut or
remove such headers.
