I'm saying if the rear is 100mm longer it can get more travel than if its 50mm longer.

I remember somebody saying that 100mm longer was a fair number to aim for, but it had no data backing it up. Just a number compromising additional travel and an over-long wheelbase.
Another one from the guys at SWT:
