For that, 20 would be plenty.

Note that you only require 32 bits of randomness (which fits in the
minimum of 6 characters), which is not quite enough to provide
global-scale uniqueness.  20 pretty much is going to do that (assuming
6 bits per character, which base64 would allow).

FWIW, I would be happier if you moved the 32 bit requirement to 120
and raised the minimum to 20, but that's a much bigger change.
