Length is not the constraint on Facebook
With a limit of 63,206 characters, almost no real post is too long for Facebook. What limits reach is the collapsed preview: feeds show the opening lines and hide the rest behind “See more”.
Read the first few lines of your post as a stranger would see them in the feed. Short posts often outperform long ones simply because the whole message is visible without a click.

The limit is rarely the problem
At 63,206 characters the limit is far above what readers will read. The real constraint is the collapsed preview.
Front-load the message
Long posts are truncated behind “See more”. Put the point, offer, or question in the first lines.
