I personally often travel along some long route (100-200 km in my
case), then I start adding POIs and other stuff I saw along the route
once I get home. And there are people travelling much longer routes
(long road routes across US/australia or even flights - one user in
one day can easily add some details on road to some european airport
and then another details on road from one airport in south america to
nearest city centre for example)

I don't think we should put any hard limits on the bbox.
