No. That assumption cannot be made.

Ancient easements are often undefined as to width. Many were created simply by granting the right to use the "cart path", the "lane" or the "wood road" as it existed at that time of the original grant. A cart did not require a 50 foot wide road and dwellings were often placed quite close to the old dirt roads.

Generally, surveyors have no trouble defining the existence and proportions of that type of an easement by evidence on the ground and language in deed descriptions. Title research into deed descriptions is necessary to disclose the original language in the grant and any amendments made later. Modern developers sometimes seek to bump out the boundaries in order to provide access for the creation of building lots or for access by heavy equipment. They are not always successful.

Easements are an extremely complicated topic and require research by a professional. You should seek a consultation with an attorney who specializes in land law in your jurisdictions.

How wide can an easement be if it were granted in 1924?

If there is no specification of the width in the grant (or the claim), then it would be bounded by the ordinary use for which such an easement is made (e.g., walking, driving a team of horses, driving heavy equipment, burying a single underground cable, etc). An easement can be for many purposes, from merely walking or driving across the property as a convenience, to daily vehicle access, to making a 10-foot trench, laying pipe and covering with a hard-topped road once every fifty years.
