Looks good to me.

Nothing says that it is a number of columns (it was the purpose of
LENGTH).  To me it only seems to say that it is is aligned.  It may be
still ok, if it is somewhat implicit if it implied by ALIGN.  Otherwise
a possibility could be (although it may not be correct english):
AUTO_MENU_DESCRIPTION_ALIGN_AT
