Angel Of Lighta Cross Stitch Pattern by Lavender & Lace

Could someone please tell me exactly what this background count and color might me, my grandmother was a notorious rule breaker and I don’t trust that she did what the pattern says, but I’m trying to make the angel and twin.

Hello everyone, I'm finishing up the Lavender and Lace "Angel of Light" and have question regarding the backstitching that needs to be done below the "village" and below and behind the angel's dress in the pattern. The backstitching is by itself on the linen (isn't supported by other stitches against it). Some of the backstitching is going over 14-16 squares or more on the 28-count linen. I'm concerned that if I make one long stitch covering that many squares, when it comes time for framing, there will either be a problem with the thread being stretched too tight or too loose. Is there a rule on not going over a certain amount of squares when backstitching? Thanks for any help!
