btree index entries (primary key or not) are limited to 1/3 page, or
about 2700 bytes in a standard installation. In the case of
compressible types like text or varchar, compression can be applied
first, so you'd probably find you could get away with field widths
up to 4k or so. If you have entries wider than that, I'd begin to
question whether an index on the field really makes sense ...
