Nope. The length in the key is the stripe length. The length in the 
stride is the stride length.

Here's an example for why this is needed:

wrote 32768/32768 bytes at offset 0
XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
wrote 131072/131072 bytes at offset 0
XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 65536
XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)

         item 0 key (XXXXXX RAID_STRIPE_KEY 32768) itemoff XXXXX itemsize 32
                         encoding: RAID0
                         stripe 0 devid 1 physical XXXXXXXXX length 32768
         item 1 key (XXXXXX RAID_STRIPE_KEY 131072) itemoff XXXXX 
itemsize 80
                         encoding: RAID0
                         stripe 0 devid 1 physical XXXXXXXXX length 32768
                         stripe 1 devid 2 physical XXXXXXXXX length 65536
                         stripe 2 devid 1 physical XXXXXXXXX length 32768
         item 2 key (XXXXXX RAID_STRIPE_KEY 8192) itemoff XXXXX itemsize 32
                         encoding: RAID0
                         stripe 0 devid 1 physical XXXXXXXXX length 8192

Without the length in the stride, we don't know when to select the next 
stride in item 1 above.
