The line is about 3km, a scaled down length representing the torpedo speed. (he says so to make it 4km for medium speed torps, 4.5 km for fast)Later he draws a line along the target course of 0.9 km to represent it's speed and close the triangle with the line of sight. With 30km and 9 km it would just be uncomfortable large on the map.
