To really solve this problem as you have outlined it, you probably need some
clever recursive algorithm for traversing the line and following all
branches, summing the length as you go. You might want to separate the
"line" into blocks connected purely by straight segments, separated from
other blocks by diagonal connections. The "length" of each block is then
the number of pixels, and each extra block extends the length of the line by
an additional diagonal. If you only need an approximate length, why not
ignore the diagonals and simply count pixels?
