For formats: end-legs and frame-legs, width of the leg should be considered:
Table Leg Widths for Stability
Excessive top overhang across the table’s width can make the table prone to tipping if someone leans or sits on the edge.
A good general rule of thumb is for the table top to not exceed double the footprint.
58cm wide table leg can support up to a 116cm wide top.
74cm can support up to 148cm.
78cm can supporet up to 156cm.
Table Leg Widths for Seating Layout
If you plan to use chairs or benches around the table, the width and position of the legs can effect usability.

Choosing the Best Table Leg FormatTable Length
The legs themselves do not effect how long a table can be. So long as the table is stiff and within suggested weight guidance you can build the table as long as you like!
