You can split on any string. If you're confident that this is the only
instance of the word "length", you can split on that:

for data in f:
    # This will throw an exception if there's no " length "
    # or if there are two of them. This means you're safe;
    #  if anything unexpected happens, you'll know.
    _, length = data.split(" length ")
    # process length

Alternatively, you can split on the space and take just the very last word:

for data in f:
    length = data.split(" ")[-1]
    # process length

Either way, the length will be a string. If you need it as an integer,
just do this:

    length = int(length)

Hope that helps!

Also, data.rsplit(' ', 1) will split data in two at the last space.
