The control surface length is the length of the control surface at the hinge line.

Small correction. Control surface length can be more than the length at the hinge line. Aerodynamically balanced control surfaces often extend beyond the hinge line. Example many WWI aircraft. the rounded tips of the ailerons, elevators and the rudder of a Fokker
D-VII. Not wanting to cause an argument just a small note.
