Didn't read it that carefully.

the deep relative paths in project trees are finite:


   bigpart :=
     <category>/<category>--<branch>/<category>--<branch>--<version>

   longpaths :=

          <archive-name>/<bigpart>/<shortpath>

        | <bigpart>/<archive-name>/<shortpath>


in revision libraries, under a <longpath>, you can have a project tree
(which can itself include a <longpath>)


It's nowhere near exceeding a reasonable limit.
