The reason for that is that the DN section needs to be formatted appropriately
if prompt=no is set. That uses the more natural style of:
dn_component = value
whereas without prompt=no it is interpreted as the prompt to use. So when
you have:
countryName = Country Name (2 letter code)
It would try to set it to "Country Name (2 letter code)" which exceeds 2
characters and hence the error.
