I am replacing some old wall lights with some new Där fittings. I was
somewhat surprised to see that the wallplugs and screws supplied were of
different lengths. The wallplugs were 25mm x 5mm, and the screws 35mm x
3.5mm. The diameters match well, but why would you use a 35mm screw with
a 25mm wallplug?

It's because the people who design stuff have never fixed anything to a
wall in their lives & have no idea how to do so.

Rule number 1.

Unpack item, remove screws/plugs, throw in bin.
