I don't know about the longest piece written for organ, but I know what the longest piece to ever be performed on an organ is.
Organ2/ASLAP, by John Cage, is a work for Organ meant to be played As SLow As Possible (ASLAP). It is currently being performed at St Burchardi Church in Halberstadt, Germany, on an organ built for this purpose. The performance began on September 5th, 2001, and will continue until the year 2640. The piece consists of eight pages of music, and each page will take 71 years to perform. One of the pages will be repeated, giving a total running time of 639 years.
