When using LegendLayout->"Row", with a lengthy row, I get line breaks. This would seemed logic if it was confined by another structure. But if happens even when there's no "confinement":
LineLegend[{Blue, Orange, Green}, {"this is a big test",
"this is a big test", "this is a big test"}, LegendLayout -> "Row"]
How can I change the ItemSize/ImageSize of the Legend?
(should this behavior be reported?)
Tell it that you really want n rows by {"Row", n}, for example:
LineLegend[{Blue, Orange, Green}, {"this is a big test",
"this is a big test", "this is a big test"},
LegendLayout -> {"Row", 1}]
To avoid line breaks You can use Grid insted (more here):
f[x_] := Grid[{Flatten@x}];
LineLegend[{Blue, Orange, Green}, {"this is a big test",
"this is a big test", "this is a big test"}, LegendLayout -> f]
Edit
Strange thing that I can not put pure function to LegendLayout option :/ If You don't want to define f outside, use: LegendLayout->Function[{x}, Grid@{Flatten@x}].
LegendLayout -> (Grid[{Flatten@#}] &), that should do the trick (for the pure function that is)

& has a lower precedence than ->. If you run FullForm[q -> #&] you get Function[Rule[q, Slot[1]]], but add parentheses: FullForm[q -> (#&)] you get, Rule[q, Function[Slot[1]]].
