2 hrs confidence:   peer agreement (net): +2 butting ends together
Explanation:
I found a text that is identical to the German text that you cited along with photos that clearly show the "Systemlängen" as the pre-cut ends of boards.
Here is the website: http://www.ott-bauzentrum.de/publish/99338c0d_7e90_43c1_7d92...
Is this the type of context your text deals with? Could you confirm this?
If the word "Längenstöße" does indeed refer to the ends of the board, and not the sides of the boards, then in English you could say "butting ends together".
Here is an example:
Does ALTWOOD® require gapping between each board?
Yes, ALTWOOD® requires gapping when butting ends together.
