Ah -- it's about the (string) length of that path element, not about the
(list) length of the whole load-path.

Well, typically some prefix of the path element has a significance. Say,
for example "~/Admin/bin/gadi-1.0" be gadi-files or so. That's the way I
usually do it.

Bonus points: you only get to change one when that changes :-)
