To the best of my knowledge there's no specific limit set in PCP.  There
are limits that will eventually come into play, where PDU sizes become
restricted to sane large values, so that pmcd never has to allocate very
large amounts of memory ... but not specifically to the sizes of metric
names (nor their sub-components).  Likewise for instance names.

cheers.
