Since you mention theory, if you make the length of wires EXACTLY same

No, it's not "OK". It's a Code violation.


As someone else noted, it's a code violation only below a certain wire
size - 1/0. Above that size parallel conductors are permitted and fairly
common, but that size puts such cases outside of nearly all residential
applications.
