In this case, I would suggest to use straight number.
If you notice, the lengths are listed as {0} KB, {0} MB, {0} GB (there are no
terabytes, I see), and "1023 bytes" would make the string too long and might
case ellipses to appear.
Also, the threshold might be set at <= 999 instead of 1024. The reason is
group separator - the user might prefer to see 1,023 instead of 1023.
Ideally, there should be a pluggable policy (formatter) to format the lengths
to the user's liking.
To summarize,
0...999 -> "0" ... "999"
1000 ... 1023 -> "1 KB"
