A word of ten letters is moderately long. A phrase consisting of two such words will have good symmetry because both the words have same length and probably same strength.
A two-word phrase of 3-10 will have more weight on the second part because the first word may only be a structural word like a preposition or a definite article (the).
A two-word phrase of 10-3 will have more weight on the first part. The second part may be a structural word, something like a hanging preposition.
I am trying to measure the phrases of 10-10 letters where both the parts have equal length and probably will be balanced.
I hope this exercise may not be futile for a wordo-holic (unable to find this word in dictionary).
