Correct.  We do not try to make width of bars from two different commits
comparable [*1*], but we do try to make them comparable within a single
commit; for a commit that changes only a single path, you still have adds
and removals to compare.  The overall length is ideally one + or - per
line if the graph fits the output width, but if that makes the graph too
wide, we scale to fit in the output width.  So a change with 41 lines gets
only 41 +/- and does not consume full 80-column terminal.

[Footnote]

*1* This is very much on purpose; otherwise it will hurt the perceived
latency of the command.
