The length of category names is limited by the size of the title field in the respective database table:

MariaDB [dbname]> describe qa_categories;
+------------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| Field      | Type                 | Null | Key | Default | Extra          |
+------------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+
| categoryid | int(10) unsigned     | NO   | PRI | NULL    | auto_increment |
| parentid   | int(10) unsigned     | YES  | MUL | NULL    |                |
| title      | varchar(80)          | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| tags       | varchar(200)         | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| content    | varchar(800)         | NO   |     |         |                |
| qcount     | int(10) unsigned     | NO   |     | 0       |                |
| position   | smallint(5) unsigned | NO   |     | NULL    |                |
| backpath   | varchar(804)         | NO   | MUL |         |                |
+------------+----------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+

The size limit is set when the table is created and the value for the limit is defined in qa-include/db/maxima.php:

$maximaDefaults = array(
  ...
  'QA_DB_MAX_CAT_PAGE_TITLE_LENGTH' => 80,
  ...
};
