They have about 10 feet of paracord used in each one. The twists ones have about 5 to 6 feet in each.
And a fob, using olive drab and black 550 paracord, with a Schmuckatelli pewter skull bead, for a pocket knife with a bail, or larger sized lanyard hole, since the paracord inner strands are intact instead of gutted on this one.

Paracord single strand braid knot lanyard
Then you can ring/cow/girth hitch it onto a swivel clip or other attachment piece at one end, and add an everyday carry(EDC) knife, multi-tool, pocket watch or flashlight on the other.
I made this one long enough so that it can also serve as a wrist lanyard when I clip onto the braid, making a loop.

SAK Lanyard/fob with skull bead

Shown attached to a Victorinox Ranger.
SAK lanyard with 'Type I' paracord...

I had to figure how many inches to start tying from the center(4"), how long to make the first set of cobra stitches/Solomon bar/Portuguese sinnet(2"), then overlapping those 3 more times and still have enough left for a finished tail end with a lanyard knot and a doubled granny knot(1.75" long after tying them), and have the loop on the top for attaching it to the knife(1.75" which is long enough to fit thru a lanyard hole and still have room to loop the lanyard body thru it on an average pocket knife, it appears long when just looped onto a split ring like on the SAK).
That kept the finished lanyard at about 6 inches. I have a tape measure handy, but I don't measure precisely as I tie. I mostly just tie/untie until it looks ok to me. I only know those measurements after I've finished, and these only work for that sized cord.
The Swiss Army knife is a Victorinox Ranger.

Here's a lanyard/fob made of Type I paracord for my Victorinox Swiss Army Tinker. I used several feet of cord(I'm guessing 5 to 7 feet, I didn't measure it as I was using leftover pieces) using the king cobra stitch and finishing with a lanyard knot and a doubled granny knot. And you can see the size difference compared to the regular 550 paracord on my keychain.
