Each column (עמוד) is approx 5 - 7 inches and there are 245 -248 columns, with extra columns at the beginning and end. Keep in mind that all Torah have variances and differ one from the other based on the scribe (סופר) and the script (כתב). The length of an average Torah would be around 140-148 ft long.
