my understanding of your GREP rule:

 ^ <- beggining of paragraph
 (.{x}) <- exactly x any characters - including letter, numbers and white spaces except \r and \n
 (.*) <- 0 or more of any character - including letter, numbers and white spaces except \r and \n
 \r <- end of paragraph

so - after counting all numbers - your line should find all lines with minimum number of 171 characters ...

without spaces between (.{x}) - your line is equal to:

 ^(.{171,})\r
