Are xpub keys ever not a length of 111?

I could try and pick apart the specification but it would be time consuming. Is it possible for the address to be shortened under 111?
I'm working under the assumption they are always length 111. Is this a safe assumption?

They are always 78 bytes, but that does not translate to a guaranteed fixed size when in base58 encoding. I believe it is possible for an xpub to be shorter than 111 characters but it will not be longer than 112 .

Since the prefix is fixed and non-zero, they are always the same length.
