D'Addario cuts their strings before they are in packages to around 37 or 40 inches is what they told me. The best advice is to keep on a little extra not to the point it's hitting the strings on the neck making it impossible to play but have a little extra just in case the strings require to stretch more.

after a day or two of playing than cut it to where you feel comfortable. Usually I put a guitar in standard tuning and than once I have an idea of how much string I'll need I tune down to whatever tuning I play. Say C# or D#.

Acoustic guitar strings are approximately 8mm apart, though it can vary slightly based on the type of neck. Electric Guitars are around 7mm apart, again varying neck widths and special 7 and 8 string guitars may be closer together.

What are the strings on a guitar?

Standard tuning they would be E,A,D,G,B,E. In terms of the strings themselves(measured in standard thickness) they would be but not limited .012,.016,.024,.032,.044,.056. There are different tuning as well as different thicknesses of strings. If you are talking about what the strings do, well that's a little different. On an electric guitar, these magnetic strings pass over the pickup. When a string vibrates it "messes" with the magnetic Field that the pickup produces. This signal is fed to an amp and is amplified and sound is produced. In an acoustic, the string vibrates and produces sound waves that in turn make the guitar body vibrate. This vibration is what we hear when a guitar is played.
