Seems like the perfect length for me would be between a 210 and 240.

I've had Shigefusa and Heiji 210mm gyuto that measured around 225mm and in the past Marko Tsourkan and Devin Thomas have produced gyuto in the 225mm size range.
Also, Konosuke 240mm gyuto generally run short - usually around 230mm edge
Didn't Dave Martell start making some 220s or 230s?
240mm Tesshu gyutos from Aframestokyo are about this length, as they are a sakai knife measured from tip to machi rather than the tip to heel.
Ordered a Tesshu ginsan 240 gyuto from Aframes today, thanks for the heads up.
Wow...that's great. Please let me know what you think. I've been eying that one and the 270mm for some time now.
Just to reinforce the "Sakai knives run short" (for anyone who might come across this thread in the future, doing a search), I measured my Sukenari AS "240" this morning and it was 230 heel-to-tip, 245 handle-to-tip.

The sukenari wagyuto run short, if I recall their 240 is either 225 or 230...! Worth a look.
He has started making 220. Shoot him a PM. Sharpest ootb knife you will experience.

There's also what is called semi-custom...touch base with Watanabe (as an example) for custom size production gyuto.
Heiji was willing to make me one, but I just went with a 240 instead (which ended up being more like 250). They have both carbon and stainless (really semi-stainless options). Be prepared to wait 4 months for a knife if you do go that route.
