What size truss rod do I need?

I'm making a 5 string neck thru single cut at the minute and I'm just doing the neck it's a 34" scale and I'm almost ready to fit the truss rod 

What size do I need to get? The fretboard is approx 25" do I need one that will go from the nut to the heel of the fretboard? Or because of the construction of it would that be overkill?

I was wondering, not that I am doing it at any time soon, if you have a single cut where the break of the neck is a long way past the 'normal' heal of the neck, does the truss rod need to be the same length?

That's what I'm thinking because the top horn comes over a third down the length of the neck

So surely anything past that point won't be able to be adjusted by the truss rod
