Can we define a meaningful concept of exptime reductions (as opposed to polytime reductions) for classes like NEXP or NEEXP?
Typically we are only interested in polytime reductions as we are usually interested in showing a reduction from one NP-problem to another.
However, if we consider larger complexity classes such as ...

Take a NEXP-complete problem and then have the input in unary. Why is this not NP-complete?
It is known that if any unary language is NP-complete, then P=NP.
Suppose we take a NEXP-complete language with input $x$ in binary and witness $y\in\{0,1\}^{2^{poly(|x|)}}$ such that the verifying ...

Complexity classes for problems that can be solved only from the length of the input
A tally language is a language on an alphabet with only one symbol. One can define complexity classes for tally languages, such as $P_1$ (the tally languages that can be decided in polynomial time).
...
