What's the longest you keep these two in the fridge?
In a sealed small tupperware container or a plastic liplock bag.

Yes, I'd say about 3 days like everyone else. And the smell will knock you down! lol ...at least that's what I've been told 
If the smell isn't strong stick your nose very close to it and take a good whif - you'll know. And if the rice is separate from the chicken it doesn't hold up well after 2 days in my opinion. It gets too hard and can't be revived very well.

I found this chart at the National Sanitation Foundation. It probably could not hurt for most of us to have this chart in our kitchens. Very good question, MLB.
