Except that this is not a normative document - it describes
techniques. Specific things you can do, like counting the number of words
or verbs or clauses (depends how smart it is) in a sentence.
It's not so much re-inventing the wheel as going out and finding them.
Cheers

Rather than codify this requirement into such specific criteria it might
be worth considering that "long sentences" could be defined variously
and elsewhere. It's a little like "clear and simple", etc. in that there
are already published definitions of these things - I think? Something
about "normative" and "reinventing wheels".
