func_documentation_string: Takes an array of range objects and returns the array index
  for the first range with the longest span, meaning that if
  there are multiple longest ranges with the same indices, the
  index for the first one in the array will be returned.
  
  @param {Array} rs Range objects, having at least { indices: [ start, end ] }
  @returns {Number|null} Index in the range array with the longest span between indices or null if no valid ranges
