My person feeling is that the length of the guide should be close the size of the drawer. There are a few reasons, 1) It will allow for more travel to the back of the drawer and 2) the longer the slide the heavier weight capacity. For smaller drawers and light weight applications I dont see why you couldnt use shorter glides.
