if you manipulate the board, you could probably get en passant on 8th rank

chess.com lets you manipulate the board and the rules.

including some methods like move number, en passant, 1-0 (win) and pawn promotion?

You can't have an en passant on the 8th rank. Also, you could increase that number from 2372 to 237200.

So true

There is actually a very rare 1/342,000,000,000, yeah, lesser chance than any literal lottery… That is… a double disambiguated bishop checkmate- Which will look like this- Ba8xc6# with 7 characters, has been achieved in 0 real life games… It looks like this- here white plays Ba8xc6# next, making it one of the longest possible moves in chess

I would probably say Qg2xd5# since it is a doubly disambiguated queen capture checkmate and it includes the biggest letters and numbers in the alphabet.
Q, g, d, 5, and 2
example:

Ne3xd5# or doubly disambiguated bishop capture checkmate (Bc6xe4# or Bg8xe6#)

If we're counting less commonly used methods of notation which are still technically following the rules of notation, I propose:
