As gabe implied, maximum scan length is limited by the physical device or its TWAIN implementation. The TWAIN specification does allow for very long scans. A sheet-fed (roll?) scanner could do a 23 inch scan if the TWAIN developer chose to support that. The bad news is, the sheet-fed scanners I’ve worked with are constrained by their TWAIN DS to 14 inch scans. Your mileage may vary.

By the way, Dosadi has a handy free utility called Twister that reports ICAP_PHYSICALHEIGHT, ICAP_SUPPORTEDSIZES, etc.
They also provide TWAIN developer toolkits that you might find useful.
