So long as you do not use the 150s, this is acceptable
150’s are the best all-round size. No need for longer or shorter

…except maybe on 12-16“.

150s are ridiculously long for any wheel 36 inches in size or smaller

150s on a 16" was fun 
And I will try it on the 12" soon as well.
On the 12”, the 150mm cranks should almost let your pedals touch on each revolution, and basically “walk” the unicycle, right?

I think you‘re right. He should try 165s as well. Should be even more interesting

This was almost the case for the 16". With a 12" the actual center of the pedal hole will be at the outer rim of the tire, so the crank will stick out indeed, and the pedal even more.
I have something even more interresting in mind than that, next time I swap a hub. 
170mm on a tightrope so that they can stick out below the wheel?

It can work if not wet. There is a lot of volume in that, just let out some air.
Now you really have my attention.
I completed my first 30+ mile ride today 
Here are some highlights
The main part of it is a 20 mile loop around my local town that includes sections of a few different bike trails. Plenty of intersections, crosswalks, and less-than-ideal stretches of pavement mean it probably wouldn’t be a perfect candidate for more than a lap or two of riding, but it makes for an interesting ride nonetheless. I felt pretty good after completing the loop, so I figured I could squeeze in an extra 10 miles to break my record of 26 miles. 
Another focus of my ride was managing my speed and staying on top of my fueling. By the end of my first 20+ mile ride, I felt wrecked. On the flats I reminded myself to keep it in the 9-11 mph range, and I had a granola bar every 45 mins or so. Sitting here after the ride, I feel like I’ve fared much better compared to my previous long rides. 
Maybe I’ll have to push my record to 40 miles sometime

A more humble ride yesterday:
20km on the bike path across a swamp natural reservation. It dusted off the cobwebs on the
36 for sure and was long enough to point out all that needed adjustments…
