How long does a sentence have to be before you can start a new one with the starting words "and", "but", "because"?

Great question! I'd say it's not so much a question of length as of rhythm. Read both sentences out loud back to back and see if your ear doesn't prefer one or the other. And notice how writers you admire handle the same situation. Some may have longer sentences and some shorter, but I think you'll find that all of them have a sense of rhythm.
