Especially when you have to save the space. Yes - my chart shows a 53 character long email address, but there is only 1 in collection of 92298. I'd not accept this email in my new applications.

I have seen autogenerated email addresses that are 63 characters in length, and seen a 49 character 'human generated' email address too - so I don't think 50 is enough. And doesn't your chart show a 53 character email address at the very end? ;) I've linked to your blog from the website linked above, an FAQ about email address lengths.
