I've seen Somewhere it was asked and I've heard a good "rule of thumb" is one inch of twist for every foot of length... I usually add a couple extra inches. Example: 6', 8" twist... 4 ft, 6" twist... It's up to you what kind of balance you want. I've seen many that are 10' with 3.5 Feet of twist.
Inch by inch.

10', I'd guess between 10"-16", depending on what you are looking for. 16" being on the longish side...
Depends on what kind of fall you are putting on it. If you're putting a heavier thicker fall, you may not wish to taper the internal strands off too quickly. If it's a lighter fall and that's your full intent- a lighter tipped whip- then a little longer twist with it tapering sooner seems to work well.
Now I will hush and we will ask the actual experts to weigh in
