How long is a BYOND port generally?
A regular one like: "byond://xx.xxx.xxxx:xxx"

First, it is xx.xx.xx.xx:ppp
The X's being your IP, P being the port.
All IP addresses are 4 'sections' long, each numbered between 1 and 255. There is no standard because it depends on the person hosting it. The port can be anywhere from 1 to a very very high number, and depends on what the host likes to set it to. So again... no 'generally' answer, lol.

I guess I'll just restrict both to a range?

The port must be between 1 and 65535.

At a maximum, a IP address : Port string will be no longer than 21 characters:

XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:PPPPP

BYOND also has a separate byond:// URL format, not based on IP address and port directly.
