When I contested that point they said that if it was less than their
minimum and I park a vehicle longer than that on there and it
overhangs the pavement it would be considered 'their fault'.

I regularly drive down a road where someone parks a Ford Galaxy on his
front, it completely blocks the pavement (well maybe a foot less).
Its made worse because he has a bay window where he puts it but he has
space next to the bay too.

Typical (of someone willing to obstruct the footpath etc).

If I was still walking down there he might well have some scratches
across the boot from my bag as I squeeze past.

Quite.

My point to 'highways' (or whoever it was) is that it seemed silly to
set an arbitrary 'minimum length' as often cars were shorter than
their minimum and it would be an offence to obstruct the pavement with
something longer in any case?
