Default Aileron Length

Hello All,
I fly a 64" wing on my combat planes with 30" ailerons, inch and a half wide. 1 servo mounted in the center of the wing. I want to play with putting 2 servos in the wing one for each aileron to get better roll rate. My question is how short can I make my ailerons. I know ailerons are most effective near the wing tip but at what point do they become just drag as they get near the fuse.

Thanks,
Rick
