I think the file length limit is independent of apache and more of a sys dependent feature.
The max filename length in Solaris 2.6 is 256 characters.

I tested this by creating a file in my document root:
echo "hi" > thisisaverylonghtmlfilenamethatiamusingasatestfile.html

then accessing it: http://myserver.mydom.com/thisisave...satestfile.html
