Personally, back when I was still writing, I generally wouldn't post a part that wasn't about ten pages, and it could've gone to as long as 14 pages. This was due to two factors. First I never posted more than three times a week since I used to post before my storied were completely finished. And second, I write the stories episodically. I don't write then figure out where to break them. I figure out what I want to say within that instalment (chapter?) and write to that end.
On a couple of occasions, in answer to one of Wendy's evil challenges I've written responses which exceeded the limit that the board will allow me to post. I don't remember exactly what that was, but I think 15 or 16 pages is about the upper limit for the format that I write in. In those cases I've broken it up into two instalments which I label A and B and post them at the same time.
Shorter instalments are fine if the writer posts on a frequent schedule, but they can be a bit frustrating if we get this little teasing taste, then no follow up for several days.
