It's defined in the SYNTAX statement of the attribute definition (in this 
example from core.schema the length is 1024 bytes.

attributetype ( 2.5.4.13 NAME 'description'
        DESC 'RFC2256: descriptive information'
        EQUALITY caseIgnoreMatch
        SUBSTR caseIgnoreSubstringsMatch
        SYNTAX 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.15{1024} )

I don't know whether there is a limitation for attribute lengths, there are 
some attributes (as name and all derived attributes) that have a maximum 
length of 32K.

the same way as in the core schema...
