If 139 then is based on the column width then its way off, and too long. The above example uses the default Excel column width and 139 characters fill ~10 times the length of the cell. So I identify two different kinds of line wrapping going on here. First, there is the line wrapping ODS EXCEL implements (fixed with the option Flow), this inserts carriage returns in to the data. Second, the line wrapping done, or not done, because of the specific Excel, XML schema level, tag and attribute <Alignment .. ss:Wraptext=...> set to "1" or "0". But, I think - it seems, that ODS Excel is placing a XML tag and attribute <Alignment .. ss:WrapText="1"> (method #2) conditional on the number of characters. Which, to me, is frustrating ... but not as much as the insertion of carriage returns (Method #1). I really was hoping that tagattr=WrapText would be a supported feature of ODS EXCEL. It's as basic a formatting option as "bold" in my opinion. And thanks for chiming in Cynthia. And thanks for reading to my rants, future and past.
