My recommendation is going to write 200-250 words max for each question while ISB word limit is 500. Does this put me at any disadvantage or ISB doesn't care about length of recommendation as much as the content?
The common LOR format by GMAC states 500 word.. so you might as well request your recommender to increase word count a bit if you plan to apply to other schools as well. Most importantly, the extra words should have relevant content that describes your work/behaviours/conduct etc etc.

The 500 word limit is a fairly generic limit and not all questions can have such long answers.
As long as the LOR has great examples that back the qualities that you've highlighted in your application and essays, you should be good.
Cheers for the responses, guys! Going with the recommendation with 250-300 words because I don't want to push the guy to write more (he's a partner in the firm so incredibly busy).
The 500 word limit with 4 questions is crazy though! Other programs have 1-2 questions with 200-300 word limits.

That's absolutely fine kloppismydad. Admissions committee would not appraise you based on the length of the recommendation:).
They have just given the recommenders the luxury of 500 words, just in case there is some question that the recommender wants to respond to, in detail (aka pour his/heart out) .
Does anyone know whether the Class of 2021 has started the classes on campus or is it still online?
Also, any updates on the DHM duration for the Class of 2022? I am aware that it was 10 weeks for the current class.
Would the next batch also start the on-campus classes around Sept or could it be earlier?
Thanks.
