Default Station Grounding

i have a question.

in reference to station grounding, i have read keep the grounding strap
as short as possible and not a multiple of a resonant length on the ham
bands. with that in mind, even if i ground pieces of equipment to individual
ground rods, won't the complete grounding system be long? in my mind i am
looking around the room and seeing a grounding system being at least 12 feet
long, if i go along the perimeter of the desks (which are in a "U" shape in
the room.

trying to grasp this in a practical sense. sorry if it is basic and i am
just not understanding it.

not responsible for spelling. :-) any input on this would be most
appreciated.
