The current process does *not* limit the length of non-private-use
tags.

It does by way of reviewer, community, and IETF Area
Director review.

But absolutely nothing except his good sense prevents Michael from registering
en-the-dialect-spoken-on-the-bowery-between-1933-and-1945-by-alcoholic-drug-users-who-live-in-flophouses.

Aside from specific technical details already addressed
by others, such a long name would certainly solicit the
strong suggestion that the submitter should find a
suitable shortened form, as such a long tag could not
be used in an encoded-word.
