Length of the generated ids #153

Hi, I would like to know if there is an estimate of how long the resulting ID would be

I mean, since it's guarantee that there will be no collision, then the length of the generated ID must be infinite, but let's say that I encrypt numbers up to 40k, is there a guarantee that the resulting ids won't be longer than N letters?
