This was discussed in the low vision task force at the W3c. Some people had suggested 25 characters per line for people with low vision. In the end the proposed success criteria in the current working draft calls for support of 400% zoom at 1280 which comes down to support zoom without loss of content or functionality at 320 CSS pixels (with exceptions). This is of course still a proposed working draft and changes can occur.
