I believe long sentences become progressively more difficult to comprehend due to the general limits of short term memory, the so called “chunks”, they’re more or less even among the population, not showing much variance. Cognitive deficits further complicates the matter. As someone with such deficits I very much appreciate fragmented texts. As a matter of fact I was easily able to read this entire article. It must be noted that as important as keeping sentences short, at least on the web, it is important to space the paragraphs as well, if accessibility is the goal.
