I think that GC battles, assuming constant length, should be 12 tournament lines, i.e., 16, or about 16, regular lines. Anything substantially shorter permits not enough material to properly represent the participants' abilities and is less satisfying to read, whereas anything substantially longer requires strenuous writing - at least for me.

I suggest these battle lengths, given in tournament lines, for a 32-man GC:

Round of 32: 10
Round of 16: 12
Round of 8: 14
Round of 4 (Semifinal): 16
Round of 2 (Final): 20

X can probably change that (if he wants to).
