Just another thought that I forgot about last night. You were asking about teams and maximum line length. As I think back, most of the teams I've been on in recent years just weren't very worried about that. We all kept to short lines as a matter of readability, but didn't have any particular hard limit if a particular piece of code happened to be more readable with longer lines.
Of course this was long after the days of 80-column Teletypes, and we were mostly using various GUI editors that didn't have a hard restriction on line length.
But back in the days when I coded on a Teletype, I definitely kept all the lines shorter than 80 columns! :-)
