That's what I was looking for.

That's exactly what I initially did. After I ended up with
\measure{Small}
\measure{TwoSmall}
\measure{ThreeSmall}
\measure{FourSmall}
\measure{Big}
\measure{TwoBig}
\measure{ThreeBig}
\measure{FourBig}
I deleted the whole mess and went with \dimen.
Thanks for the quick response.
