Depends on lots of factors of course, but 400m of grass has never been a problem for me, with a good margin. The first time I left a short strip I later discovered I'd had the parking brake on for the entire take-off roll, though it might say more about the efficacy of the parking brake (and my stupidity) than anything else.
