Comment (by Hube2):

 For anyone in the same situation as myself that has altered options_name
 in the DB to allow 255 characters, I have also created a plugin that can
 be used to prevent WP from changing it back again.
 https://github.com/Hube2/wp-update-prevent-db-changes

 Validation is not sufficient because as was just mentioned, 64 characters
 is simply not a sufficient size under all conditions.
