Can I safely generate the longest password possible?

About this question

Is choosing the maximum-authorised password length a safe strategy? My reasoning is that — assuming the maximum-authorised password length is long enough (say ≥24 characters), so that high-entropy passwords can still be generated if their length is smaller than the max — choosing a password of length m is much more limiting than choosing a password among those of length m, or m-1, or …, or 25, or 24.
