Default cable length question

If I wanted to run a cable, lets say a usb cable from the back of my headunit to my glove box behind the passengers seat, how long do you think the cable would have to be?

do you guys think 10ft would be long enough to run from the headunit to the smaller compartment areas that are next to each rear speaker.

Also I looked into my Kenwood KNA-G510 navigation unit which is being delivered Monday and saw "Wiring harness with 6' 8" cable to display unit and 19' 8" power harness with in-line 2 amp fuses" I saw some of you guys said 8-9ft is needed to reach the large compartment behind drivers seat. Suggestions?
