Lets say you are hypothetically pushing the crayon with 20 pounds of pressure per sqare inch.

Well with out any specific numbers I would first take a fresh crayon and measure its volume. Then draw a 1 foot line and remeasure its volume again then subtract the 2nd measurement from the first. Then divide the original volume by the difference the formula would look something line this.

let v1 = the original volume let v2 = the volume after drawing a 1 linear foot line. let x = the linear feet 1 crayon can draw.

v1/(v1-v2) = x

first, find the volume vO of the crayon.
next, draw a line 10 feet long (using an automatic crayon drawer, to keep pressure consistent).
find volume v1 of the crayon
subtract v1 from vO to get v2
(10 feet/v2) X (vo/d)
d will be the total distance of the line for the volume of that crayon.

It would be a very long line.

It varies.
The answer is not infinity.
The question has many possible answers as stated. There is no answer without more information.
