Since some chess websites use ++ instead of #, you could argue that Qa1xe4++ is the longest
++ is used for double check, and of course a Queen move cannot be a double check.

Wait, can you add 1-0 to the end of your post?
Like, Qd7xe6#1-0 without space

No
I think the longest is dxe3++e.p. 8 non-period characters. (Chess.com doesn't write double check or en passant, but this does)

Maybe dxc6e.p.+, I guess?
dxc8e.p.=Q+ maybe?

Almost quite! Except that en passant captures don't happen at the seventh and eighth ranks.

What is "++" is it a double check

actually if you had doubled pawns on the file you could actually write something like c7xd8=Q#

No.

But with an e.p. capture, is it necessary to cite it as an e.p. capture? (ie wouldn't that just be cited as dxc6+ regardless, with the knowledge that the capture was e.p.?)
Actually the en passant notation is not really compulsory, but you will notice that some chess websites include e.p. in their notations while other websites do not do so. The notation just makes things less ambiguous. Imagine that a player trying to analyse a game does not know about the en passant rule, and suddenly a dxc6 appears in the notations of the game played even though the Black pawn was on d5. To the player, he will be astonished that the book displays 'dxc6' since to him/her, captures cannot be made that way. Writing e.p., then, makes things clearer to the player, in the sense that the move played is special in some way.
Ah yeah fair enough. I suppose it is best to be clear.
So you might have me beat there (do periods count though? )
Not really, it can simply be written as dxc6ep+, so the length is equal. It's very difficult to find further than 7 characters in the notation though.
e=Qxe8+?? = 9 letters and numbers

maybe if you manipulate the board so this could happen, it could be like
2372. exd8e.p.=Q#1-0 (20 including spaces and periods, 18 without periods, 17 without space or periods.)
including some methods like move number, en passant, 1-0 (win) and pawn promotion?

You can't have an en passant on the 8th rank. Also, you could increase that number from 2372 to 237200.
Dunno if anyone already wrote this (it's seven pages), but in ye olden times notation was like: "White plays his king's bishop to queen's bishop four." So be glad it isn't that.
