Seems a bit overkill to me :-)
Same thing quickly done in shell :

for rpm in `rpm -qa --qf '%{name}\n'`; do
 len="`echo $rpm | wc -m | tr -d ' '`"
 echo "$len $rpm"
done | sort -n

And on my system :

[...]
26 perl-XML-NamespaceSupport
26 redhat-config-network-tui
26 redhat-config-printer-gui
27 redhat-config-rootpassword
28 redhat-config-securitylevel
28 redhat-switch-printer-gnome
