One of the most memorable (for the right reasons) stories I have read recently is the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson - and that is a little over 3000 pages in three hardback volumes in total. That said, there have been some cracking 100 page novellas in anthologies in recent months as well.
Some stories need the pages, some don't. Equally, some stories don't get enough space, and others get way too much.
