Must you score the longest path of a color, or can you choose a shorter one?
Several posters agree with the worked examples, and the rulebook's scoring list does not require the longest path.

You choose the most valuable valid path for the color you won; it need not be the longest. A shorter path can be worth more, for example when a different color breaks the longer run. In one example, a four-card single-color run scores 8 against 6 for the full line.
