From the Lego purist point of view you can have an infinite range of lenghts
by joining any number of leads together. Any excess you can just kink back
on itself like you would in any moc.

Well, not exactly. Your length will be one value, the sum of all the
non-modified Lego wires (the individual leads). However, the "distance
between ends" can be any distance less than or equal to the total length.

But if you went out into the real world and collected all the wires in, due
to manufacturing tolerances you could probably find any lenght between the
max lego make and the shortest they make. So after a certain minimum number
(say 10)you could probably find a set of leads that would make any lenght
between the lenght of the ten and the lenght of all the leads in the world
connected together. Any lenghts difficult to acheive could be got by slight
stretching or you could expand the wires slightly by using heat or light.
