It seems to be about 15 characters. As far as I know, no router does random generation 64 characters long. Also, the Linksys SES transmits the passphrase in the clear for several minutes to allow other SES units to sync up and learn the passphrase. If a third party intercepts it at that time, all you've gained is false security.
My suggestion is to merely come up with your own passphrase and keep it secret. If you want it to be 64 characters, type out 64 characters.
The security of WPA and WPA2 doesn't depend on whether the router generates the passphrase, but whether the passphrase is subject to a dictionary attack. The longer and more random the passphrase, the less likely it will be successfully attacked.
