As far as length: something like 5-8 miles seems plausible for a day or two or maybe three (either something that produces a circle, or something that produces a couple of days in a row. I'd rather guess too short than too long, all things considered. Reasonable places to pause every so often would be handy (by which I mean 'place one can sit on the ground/convenient rock/etc.' not actual amenities). And I am aware that there's services that will, say, transport your bags for you, and things.)
Hills are an issue for me: down is fine, up is problematic though easier if it's either quite steep (stairs, say) with some rest points or very long and gradual: the worst for me is the middle ground of steepish for a long distance.
