This is somewhat tricky. How are you gauging line length? If you're counting the characters (letters, spaces, punctuation marks, etc) of the first line and multiplying by the number of lines to arrive at a character count for the page, that's potentially very misleading. Unless the book is printed in a monospace typeface, the actual numbers of characters per line are going to vary somewhat perhaps even widely.
