I have a cat probe but use flue temps (as the manual suggests) as my main guideline, cat is also hot and stovetop is good using this method for me...
Been miserable here the last 4 days, blizzard over the weekend with 50 below wind chills, 20 below wind chill today. Wind switches to south west...
Wow, somewhere around 15 percent is as dry as it gets here no matter how long it drys.

So the short answer is yes, some stove pipe can be too long.
There is stove pipe, single or double wall, and then there is chimney pipe, single wall stovepipe has it's limitations due to possible creosote...
