篇幅 (piān fú): length (of a piece of writing); space occupied on a printed page

The teacher asked us to write an essay on environmental protection, and the length should not exceed 1,000 characters, so we must express our views clearly in concise language.

The length of this academic paper is much longer than I imagined; it took me a whole afternoon to finish reading it, but the content is very substantial and worth reading.

The editor told me that due to limited space in the magazine, my article needs to be shortened in length and can only keep the most important parts, which makes me a bit regretful.

When writing a report, properly controlling the length is important; if it's too short, the issue may not be explained clearly, and if it's too long, readers may lose patience.
