I did some research, so perhaps we can take inspiration from:

https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2317.txt

"One of the problems encountered when assigning a longer prefix (less
    address space) is that"

... and then use shorter/longer throughout the document? Just to give an 
introduction to the reader who might not be 100% sure what "longer prefix" 
means?

... and I guess I just need to figure out some rule of thumb for myself to 
remember what shorter/longer means.
