True "short pull" road levers are around 20mm. Levers for V-brakes tend to be 30mm or more.
I have way too many hours invested over the last few weeks into brakes, mechanical advantage, and cantilever geometry. I've learned a lot of theory and built a pretty handy Excel spreadsheet to play with some of the variables. Brake lever geometry doesn't seem to be nearly as well documented as brake calipers, but of course you need to know both to determine how they'll play with each other on paper.
