I know that you want save some computing power but nothing should be easier to compute than the length so encouraging mappers to add their own estimates doesn't seem like the best idea. The 915 uses possibly have a special purpose? However if there is something like "official_length" of a river (for example mentioned in wikipedia) that could be certainly tagged. Other tags that might help are those relating to ships.
