Well, if they've got 5,000, and we've got 125,000, we could pile ours up 25 times, and it surely must come near...
We could use a few of our castles to make the bits in the middle...

Misses the point a bit, I think. How many pillaging Mongol hordes swept over the moors of northern England and took over the country? Big isn't always better.

None, but there were plenty of Vikings, Anglo-Saxons & Normans doing exactly that.

Hold on now, dry stone walls are largely post medieval features with most being built in the 16th and 17th centuries as the highlands and uplands were cleared.

But then we have got Hadrian's Wall to add in too the dry stone walls.

That's lovely. When I'm King we shall have a Royal Decree that every settlement with a population of more than twenty people shall have a stone horse.
Not Dry stone, mostly re-built in Victorian time, with stones nicked from farmers walls. and cemented in place, with cement naturally.But then we have got Hadrian's Wall to add in too the dry stone walls.
Even so how many miles of
are required equal to what you see in this one picture?
Much of the great wall never looked like that bit. In the desert it is/was made from rammed earth. Read about it in national geograpphic years ago.

the Great Wall is not in the good condition shown in the photographs above everywhere, some lengths are built of brick or timber, parts of it have almost disappeared, while other stretches are no more than mudbanks.

Last night, prompted by a remark made by Marcus de Sautoy in his programme on measurement on BBC4, I looked up the reasoning behind shoe sizing units. I now know more than I ever thought I could on the subject.
Here in the UK, delightfully, we still use a unit called a barleycorn in shoe sizing!
