I think it would be better to phrase it as:
There is no fundamental limit to note durations (both in terms of
longest and shortest), but the number of glyphs is limited: there are
flags up 64th and rests up to 128th. At the other extreme, there are
note heads up to longa (4x whole note) and rests up to maxima (8 x
whole?). Since beams can be extended arbitrarily, beamed notes can be
arbitrarily short.
