\override Stem #'length-fraction = #(magstep 0.5) It scales the length in proportion to the font size. The argument is the change in font size. Since each step up is an increase of approximately 12% of the font size, a value of 0.5 should be equal to 106 percent (default value is 0). But I think there are other factors that influence stem length (IIRC for example, there is a rule for low notes with stem up that say the stem should go to the middle of the staff).
