not too generous ;)
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/char.html
"In contrast to CHAR, VARCHAR values are stored as a one-byte or
two-byte length prefix plus data. The length prefix indicates the number
of bytes in the value. A column uses one length byte if values require
no more than 255 bytes, two length bytes if values may require more than
255 bytes. "

Changing the length from 256 to 1024, or even 2048, should only make a
difference if you store a lot of those lengthy urls...
