not sure if there is length issue either but i would say that a crack from top to bottom has severely weakened your windscreen enough to be a danger to you and your passenger if you ever hit a bird or other object.

Keep in mind I'm in NSW but the crack in my windscreen was easily in reach of the wipers, and it passed RWC.
Windscreens have 3 layers to them so if the crack is only on the first (and outside) layer it shouldnt really be any weaker than one that doesnt have a crack.
