technical question about Rev's base64decode

When base64encode is used, Rev wraps at 72 character lines.

I notice if you remove these lines and base64decode you get back the same
original results. In other words, the linefeeds are ignored.

Looking at the RFC for base 64 encoding, they say that lines should not be
more than 76 characters but that "robust applications" may support longer
lines.

Does Rev, in general, support any sized strings for base 64 decoding?

Thanks,
