I have so far always used either the same as I use in h1, or a longer
version. Works for me. I doubt it gets better when I make them shorter
(IIRC it got better when I made some longer).
I do have the feeling that important words in front is a good thing.
Also a long title works if it is not just repeating the same stuff with
different words.
Good (IMO):
Pictures of Florida Bark scorpions (Centruroides Gracilis) from
Veracruz.
I would give this a h1 of:
Pictures of Florida Bark scorpions
and I have a "remark" thingy, where I probably would mention: Veracruz.

Personally I wouldn't put it anywhere, (c) is something you just get, no
need to mention it. (It isn't going to stop a single soul).
The Locus Optimus is important IMO, and I recommend to use it somewhere
on the page. In the title it might drop off in SEs. IIRC it is already
in use on the page, in a good place.

"My" "no menu" technique often has Related links at the bottom of a page
or section.

Question is: do SEs care about the length? I don't see that my long
names score worse. Nor if they repeat a part of the uRL (e.g.
perl/perlprogrammer.html) In short: I doubt it. The visitor doesn't care
about length that much.

I scanned fast the page, only saw a no no for very long domain names
with as much keywords as possible.
I have seen wordpress blogs creating urls very similar to the one Els is
using. I probably have longer ones. I wouldn't worry too much about it.
