If you had to containerize long form, how long would your words container be? You can treat an idea across 1 or 100 containers but each has the same word limit. You can go under, but not over.

1k words. I can’t express an interesting idea in less than that, but being forced to do so improves my writing

I'd go with a poetic form, in which you can use as many words as you like if it's meter, or 800 words, a traditional newspaper column

I only want to READ about 2000 words before I take at least two minutes to stretch and recenter myself, so that's about where the container size for my writing maxes out, and, in consideration of my reader, I'll typically mark a significant break in the text around that point.

500 words forces best discipline, but sometimes a tad more needed.
Prob 700 words.
