usmUserName is SnmpAdminString (SIZE(1..32)) so there is a limit.  On
the other hand, there is no limit for snmpCommunityName. I am not sure
we need to have identical limits for security IDs.

The fun part is that in several places there is no limit for a
securityName but VACM says vacmSecurityName is SnmpAdminString
(SIZE(1..32)). So you can configure USM to map a user name to an
snmpSecurityName for which it is impossible to specify access control
rules in VACM. It looks we should have defined an SnmpSecurityName TC
to make things really consistent...
