The style guidelines says

Limit lines to 65 characters to enhance code readability on docs, especially on mobile screens.

As per understanding, the 65 chars is for codes on documents which can be used to provide examples of codes So that, if someone wish to read the document on the mobile screen, it is easy to read.

Concern: We should not mistaken this with the no of chars width for actual code Why? Since even for small to medium width devices having very less resolution, char length of 65 is very less.

Possibly there are no rules to enforce line length
