If your asking Width and not Length ia all depends on what pieces will fit into the firebox efficiently without wasting any space. I have a 1 foot cubic firebox, so sometimes it's 3 pieces and other times it's 4 using what I have on hand to fill the firebox the most. This gives me anywhere from 6-8 hours burn time.
Size meaning 3",4",5",6" WIDE ? I'm aware of being efficient , just looking for what others basically use , that's all

the word you're looking for is 'thick'...to avoid confusion
4 to 5" here too for a 1.5cu firebox.
For an overnight, they get packed densely, with little space between.

For my Jotul F 600, which has a 3.0 cubic foot firebox, I generally load splits up to 7" thick and rounds up to 8" for a maximum. Typical load will range from 4" to 6" on most occasions.
