If you make them any longer, walking round them could be debillitating!

I agree. We have two raised beds that are a bit bigger - 3 metres by
1.5 metres - and that is probably just a bit too big when you are
working on them.
How high will they be? They are going to need a lot of topsoil/compost
to fill them.
