Ratio and rhythm is more important than length. Too long and you will break your 'kinetic chain', slow right down and put your back at risk (similar for swimming).
The juniors (and some adults) are taught Cauliflower Cheese for ratio: the push-back is cheese, coming back to lean forward is your cauliflower, ie its a 2:1 ratio, for recovery and helping the boat to run.
Musicians tend to be good at rhythm, they are likley to be at the front of the boat (stroke).
If that helps?

No more than level 5, try for 10 mins, start leisurely and build up, get familiar with your numbers on the computer to help pacing.

If you are going to get stuck in, prepare for a change and look after your back and hamstrings, ripped through another shirt this morning
