No maximum exists in the NEC, but if it did, it would be in Art. 400.

Most manufactured lights have a 6-foot cord, so it is able to reach a receptacle without an extension cord. This is why 210.52(A)(1) has the 6' rule.

That is a listing issue for the manufacturer. If you are installing listed products, I would not be too concerned. Plugged in items are not usually the pervue of the NEC.
