It seems that google is now accepting longer descriptions, up to 320 chars (instead of 160 or so)

Note: NM currently only generates the post's meta description automatically if custom setting autometad is enabled, as an excerpt of 150 chars max. (#31)

Not sure about this. Perhaps for automatic meta descriptions it's better they're short, as we're just duplicating content. I'll revert this to 150 chars for now.

Custom meta descriptions (#255), however, will not have a limit.
