Daniel,
You are right on that FIX does not put any limitation on the size.
Altough it is wise to point out that FIX _implementations_ (I mean FIX egnines) may have limitations coming from a lousy implementation.
(Such as using C strings, with hardcoded size...)
I am using 17 chars long ClOrdIDs with no problems.
