>Do you have any sense of how long these works are?
While I have no clue on these specific works, I tend to use things like books of the Bible as a benchmark. Other works have similar length "books," like Caesar's "Gallic War" is split into 8 books of 5000 to 15000 words each or Aristotle wrote 400 books of about a thousand lines each.
Maybe some are significantly longer, but I'd assume the majority are that length. Keeping longer works in one piece for centuries is incredibly challenging.
