So no one has any advice? / input?

I read the message and couldn't figure it out.

You say "how long should it be?" - for how many cords?

5 x 16 x ???  You say 128cf so if you use your 23' length you would have 14.375 cords using your measurements?

Maybe I'm missing something.

A legal cord, according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 130, 2016 Edition is

2.4.1.2. Cord. – The amount of wood that is contained in a space of 128 ft³ when the wood is ranked and well stowed. For the purpose of this regulation, "ranked and well stowed" shall be construed to mean that pieces of wood are placed in a line or row, with individual pieces touching and parallel to each other, and stacked in a compact manner.

Since you describe your pile as loosely stacked, it is most likely less than 14.375 cords. How much less is difficult to say.

Maine allows a "loose cord" pile of 12"-16" wood of 180 ft³ or 24" wood in 195 ft³.

If this is the case, it is a sure fire way to get permanently kicked out of the Forestry Forum.
