I don't think helpfulness can be enforced via line count.
A one-liner can be quite sufficient (eg. CRYPTO_MD4).
OTOH more lines can still leave important questions unanswered (eg.
CRYPTO_SALSA20_586 whose help text is identical to that of
CRYPTO_SALSA20, leaving you wondering when to choose one over the other).
