As of April 25th, 2019, the current draft of the novel is up to chapter 60. Now it really is getting long.

You are of course correct it was already long. After all if 42 can express life the universe and everything then nothing should take 60 chapters.
I think it's simply that 60 = 42(for large values of "42")
If everything equals 42...
