It's not an either/or though. Tables are readable and this looks very much like tabular data. Length constraints should not be fixed if you have code like this, and it won't be "a slow decay into a mess" if escaping the line length rules is limited to data tables like these.

By length constraint I meant that one of the fields grows longer than originally planned rather than bypassing the linter.
