The trenches on the western front were built in a more or less continuous line from the North Sea all the way to the border of Switzerland. A distance of about 750 km; considering that both sides used multiple trench lines, plush support trenches, and zigzags across the landscape there would have been several thousand kilometres of trenches being used by either side at any given time.
