In fact, it has the exact length of the contents. The problem is that the contents comes with end-of-line symbols, so it's wrapped. It's pretty much like this:
|
Example from MySQL 5.7.6
|
mysql> create table t2 (c varchar(32));
|
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.01 sec)
|
|
mysql> insert into t2 values ("a\nb\nc\n");
|
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)
|
|
mysql> select * from t2;
|
+--------+
|
| c |
|
+--------+
|
| a
|
b
|
c
|
|
|
+--------+
|
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

I don't know if it's worth struggling for looking it much better in a console client.
Closing for now as "won't fix", please comment to re-open if disagree.
