In my undergraduate Comp Sci classes, we used to discuss arbitrary rules like limiting functions to n lines. With real-world experience, it soon became clear that such rules were a waste of time. A function should be just as big as it needs to be, no more, no less. The same with a class, or a module. Or whatever other constructs your language may have.
