Does the same reciprocity that applies to licensing also apply to coach length and overall length laws and do state length laws apply to the interstate roads in that state?
Length laws apply to all vehicles equally in the state regardless of where they come from. If the maximum combined length is limited to, say, 70' for any combination, that will be true even if a longer combination is legal in some other states, including the one where it is registered. It's no different than other traffic laws like speed limits or bridge weight limits. Trailer equipment laws are also somewhat variable, and apply to all trailers regardless of registration or origin. (The main equipment laws in question relate to when or if trailer brakes are required.)
State length (and other traffic and vehicle) laws do apply to Interstates, but the state laws in that case are in practice always the same as federal standards for the Interstate highways as they would lose a substantial amount of Federal highway money if they differed.
