No. Length is an extensive property — it depends on the size/amount of the system. If you combine two rods of length 1 m you get 2 m (it adds), and if you split a rod the lengths change. Intensive properties (e.g., temperature, density, pressure) do not change when you divide or combine systems.
Note: some “characteristic lengths” (e.g., lattice constant, molecular size) are intrinsic and behave like intensive properties, but plain macroscopic length of an object is extensive.
