It is very hard to tell how long a piece of string is until you locate one end of the string to begin your measurements.
Once you locate one end, you can start measuring the length of string using your basic methods of measurement, such as a ruler, yard stick, tape measure, or winder e/w measuring spool. You keep advancing along the string with one of these gadgets (counting each increment) until you reach the other end. When you get there, you have the total length of the string.
This of course presumes that the string is not slimey wet, or all wadded up.

The standard piece of string is fourteen feet long.
Any shorter piece should be referred to as a "little piece" or "small piece" of string.
Any longer piece should be referred to as a "length" or "large piece" or "big piece" of string.
Therefore, a "piece of string" is fourteen feet long.

As in the string theory?
Well, get this...
Alright, if an atom were the size of our solar system, which is HUGE, then the string would be the size of a tree.
Wrap your mind around that!!

As in "String theory"?
Its rather hard to measure something that exists
in 11+ dimensions... Oh ... and the existence
of which is extremely contraversial.

This is a problem that has baffled Philosophers for eons.
I'm working on it right now,I should have an answer for you in the near future.
I do know it is the length between the two ends.

It is exactly two times the length from it's center to one end.

- a piece of string would be infinitely long, because it would be wiggly at every scale. ...

as long as it is.
I use that philosophy for anything that is at your desire.
Like the amount of money you want to make working from home.
Or writing a report.
