Question

What should be the length and width of the turban(amamah)?

Answer

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh

There is no reliable narration mentioning a specific length for the turban. The sunnah of turban will be fulfilled with a cloth of any length.

And Allah knows best
