You can't thread two ends of steel pipe between fittings if they are already in as the threads go the same way so you can't get a fitting or section on.
Your only way is to dismantle a section and reassemble it.
Regarding dimensions, expect to have one to two threads showing past the fitting to allow you room for maneuvering.

Hi. Assuming you have stocks , 1/2" dies and a pipe vice. Screw any fitting onto the end of a length, mark the thread flush with the fitting, remove and measure from end of pipe to mark. Multiply X 2, add this to the distance between the fittings. (you may well need to introduce a long screw connector or union as you don't get R and L handed threads. Good Luck

Blimey lads this is so easy, you just use a 1/2" union. use a 1/2" nipple, striaght into a union then measure the remaining length, job done
