Here the ribbing is about half done. Five too six turns is plenty. Maintain good pressure on the wire. I have made the chenille body a bit longer than Tim Fox', the flys originator, usually does ... for no other reason than that's the way it turned out. I don't think it makes a huge difference to the fish, but this is one place you could experiment. Very little is chiseled in stone when tying flies.
