My question is if I have a Light that threads into for example a 3/4" rigid conduit dropping down from a fitting, how long can the pipe be without supporting the pipe holding the luminaire. For example, can I drop a 10' stick and hang a light from it with no support? I believe no just having trouble finding the NEC Code any help would be appreciated thank you.

So the 3/4" RMC is actually being used as a fixture stem? I don't think that the NEC has a limit on fixture stem length. After 18" in length you'll need a swivel on the top. Look at 314.23(H)(2).
That's what I am reading just now thank you
