Or, alternatively, can the map be totally 10x100 but part of it is inaccessible to the player due to only containing logic and related mechanisms...
You could disallow both of the above or allow both but let it affect your grading of the level or whatever :)

Edit: Actually, I’m taking the question back because I want to stick to the 10x100, both because of the challenge and because if you have a wider map the viewport will not be the same which is kinda uncool.
You don't plan on using the results but I'll answer in case anyone else has the some questions:

You can have a map bigger than 10x100, within reason (let's say, don't go past 20 or so?), if logic/mechanisms require it, though as Ida says it'll be a bit disappointing to have the viewport shift that way (though in Lexy's Labyrinth you can set bounding boxes).  You can't extend the 100 though, because that won't be playable on CC2, though it actually will be playable in LL.

If you have a 10x100 map where part of it is inaccessible to the player due to containing logic, again within reason (maybe no more than 1/3 of the map?); though if it's possible, I suggest making it possible to see such a mechanism after completion, a la Difficulty Switch or Strict Process.
