The atomic radius of C is 73 pm so if this, -, stands for a radius the chain looks like

-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C- so take 19( - ) for (-)=73 and yopu get 1387 pm

Why do alkanes get thicker and less runny as the length of the carbon chain increases?

The longer the carbon chain, it spreads out the atoms more equally which causes the carbon to get thicker and less runny.
