But if you can extend the seat post so that the whole word "LIMIT" is seen but no more, is that the true level of length you can get away with safely? Just want to make sure before I order the Kalloy (but I'd rather not, of course). Thanks.

Um, I think I have the answer. The R20 assembly instructions off the net say not to adjust beyond the LIMIT mark; you see the word LIMIT and no more of the seat post under it/inferior to it.
On my steel seat posts there is a line under the word Limit so I take that to be THE LIMIT.
