The minimum-lenght property is set by default at 2.0 (staff spaces), see: http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.14/Documentation/internals/hairpin In the second bar of your example, setting it to #5, it's still too short, because you added dynamics as well (ppp and fz). If you want the same lenght of the first hairpin you should increase the minimum-lenght till #11 - or something like this. Of course this will increase also the distance between the first two notes.
