Hi Tom,
I would suspect that of even more importance is to be absolutely certain
that there are no valleys along the way and to also install some sort of
gutter guard to keep the leaves and other things out of the gutter proper.
If you have a downspout at each end the run would only be 17 feet wi
A quarter inch per every 10 foot.
make sure the roof is level though before hand. if it isn't, you will need
to take that in to account when installing the gutters.

The only figures I have seen for water run is quarter inch per foot. This
apparently applies to gutters and to things like patios as well.

Sorry!
Quarter inch per 10 feet is recommended. this may not be enough though
depending on the size of the roof and the slope and the size of the guttering.

Why isn't "phonetic" spelled the way it sounds?

When we moved into this house there was a 40 foot run of gutter with a down
spout at each end. If the rain was any more than light it would overflow in
the middle. We cured it by putting in a down spout where it overflowed.
