Comment(by rwh):

 Eben: the devil is in the details :) did you have a specific length in
 mind, or should that be related to the size available (tricky!) or
 changeable with a reasonable default. Here's the result of the code I
 wrote so far, with maximum string length of 60. If the last word has more
 than 20 characters it is considered too long.

 {{{
