There is no hard rule for that. And it can depend on many things.
The profile of the trailer, the distance between the coupler and the trailer wheels, the antisway setup.
The weight of the towing vehicle. etc.
Also there is so hard "safley limit" the actual general guideline you mentioned is commonly found on the internet as 110" wheelbase for 20ft, and add 4" of wheelbase for every ft of trailer, but again that is extremely generic and you have to take into account more variables.
A 8000lb suv with 116" will tow a 20ft long popup trailer better than a 6000lb truck with 120" will tow a tall RV trailer of similar length. etc.
As to what I tow? Plenty.
