Default longest subway platform?

I noticed that Broadway-Lafayette has an extremely long platform (maybe
because of the need to connect with the Bleecker Street station). What's
the longest platform in the system?

Probably the northbound platform at Aqueduct-N. Conduit, or maybe the
southbound local platform at Willets Point.

The platforms at 34/6 are quite long as well.

I've never noticed anything out of the ordinary at Broadway-Lafayette.

I would think that the northbound Aqueduct Platform on the "A" would be
the single longest platform. Stations such as 42nd on the 8th Ave, have
two off centered platforms that extend for 4 blocks, but each platform
only holds 10 cars

Why not? We have Santa Claus Avenue in Washington Heights.
