A sentence can be as long as one desires, so long as it is one (1) thought or idea. If it contains multiple ideas or thoughts, then it is a run on sentence.

"The cats played and ran all night."

Run on would be,

"The cats played and ran all night because they thought they would be cool, it's not that I don't like cats is just that they are very annoying."

"I saw my dog chasing the squirrel onto the back yard and then I yelled to my neighbors "Hey Bob! Can you catch my dog?" and he couldn't hear me so I yelled louder and louder and louder until he finally came over and tried to catch my dog but he failed and fell his face first into the mud because it rained last night."

How long is a sentence?

All a sentence has to have to make it a sentence is a subject and a verb. For example, "She ran." would be a complete sentence. 'She' is the subject and 'ran' is the verb. But a sentence can be as long as the writer wants it to be. The longest sentence I've personally ever seen was about 3/4 of a page long. There's no limit to how long a sentence can be, really, as long as it's a well-written sentence.
