Length of Insulated Backstay for Ham Radio

Length of Insulated Back stay for Ham radio
This winter I am changing my 2 ¼” back stays for a single 3/8” Back stay with insulators to allow use of Ham radio. Any advice out there as to what length of wire between both Insulators I should use?
I do not have SSB radio yet but will purchase before going off shore. I am changing the standing rigging this winter and while I am at it I plan to set up back stay for antenna.
Is there a set length for each radio antenna what is it. Or does the length depend on the radio etc
Any advice appreciated
