Scrooge McDuck gave the answer in a cartoon where he was asked that same question to keep his fortune, the correct answer is "equidistant from the centre to both ends"

String decimalisation ISO units:

10 stringettes to a string. 10 strings to a coil. 10 coils to a hank, 10 hanks to a skein, 10 skeins to a ball…

In other units .. 1 string to a bow, 2 strings for a reserve, 4 strings to a violin, 6 strings to a guitar. For larger multiples sitar, harp, piano. In these units the answer is simple.. The length of a pice of string… the tension mounts…is enough for a wind-up..
