Okay, I agree, so the next thought is - how long do dancers in shorter lines
WANT to dance. Up and down to the beginning place? Normally this isn't
appreciated. But in a shorter line, do they want to continue and it doesn't
matter? I know as a dancer I don't want the dance to go "too" long. But in a
short line would I appreciate dancing longer regardless of whether I go through
the line twice?

I'll make the suggestion that you be very careful about any dances you want
to call that involve traveling outside the foursome. Those dances often
introduce end effects that can ripple one or two foursomes into the set from
each end, so with only 5 or 6 foursomes, the whole line is confused.
Also, any dance with double progression will leave the dancers feeling that
they are bouncing off the ends of the line and being really limited in who they
dance with.
Other than those issues, I agree with Jack that most dances should work fine.

Fellow callers, what are things to look for in dances for a short line. I'm
afraid that a limited number of dancers will be at an upcoming gig and I want
to be prepared in the best possible way, and so am looking for input and for
confirmation of my thoughts. They are intermediate/ experienced dancers.
