With the importance of filling available space in Norwegian heraldry, I could
imagine the lengths of the oars to change according to the edge of the flag,
like they do for the shield. Is there a way to find out?

I would also think that it may be the case, however, some charges are treated
so, others are not. Unfortunately, we have no confirmation by photo what kind of
flag is actually used (if any) and we do not know what the drawing that was
actually approved by the royal resolution would have.
From what I understand of the Norwegian heraldry - either design would be
acceptable as long as it matches the blazon (ie. the flag description).

My design of flag of Lenvik is similar with design of flag of Spydeberg.
Any comment is welcome. Well, maybe a little bit bigger spearheads (for
Spydeberg)
Tomislav Šipek, 29 March 2016
There are more pages where I wonder whether the charges wouldn't be expected
to fill more of the flag.
In these two cases, the lower ends of the charges are almost in one line. That
makes sense in heraldry because the edge of the shield almost forms a diagonal
line there. It makes less sense for vexillology, however, as there there's an
empty corner at that point, and you'd expect the charges to be resized so that
the largest one stretches all the way into that corner.
Anyway, checking for Norwegian municipal flags gives the impression that most of
these may never have been made in the cloth, rendering the discussion of their
exact design mostly moot.

I blått tre skråstilte gull årer med bladene opp. In English: Azure three
oars bendwise, blades to the chief.
Approved by the royal resolution of 22 August 1986 after a drawing by Arvid
Sveen.
The oars symbolise fishing industry as the main form of income for the
community.
