The length of a modern webnovel chapter varies, but it's generally between 2,000 - 3,500 Chinese characters. Some authors write longer chapters, and some genres have shorter chapters, but typically I think most translators would agree that 3,000 characters is more or less the average chapter length.
But in the 1950s-1970s when Jin Yong was active serializing his novels in newspapers (mostly), the typical daily installment was much shorter. For one thing, it was not even close to a full chapter, which were over 10,000 characters, and this was the original version before he revised them. Later versions combined chapters and are therefore even longer.
So let's look at a few examples:
Sword Stained with Royal Blood, final installment, 914 characters
Sword Stained with Royal Blood's final installment on December 31, 1956, was ~914 characters. So about 1/3 of a modern webnovel chapter.
Legend of the Condor Heroes, 1st installment, 902 characters
Legend of the Condor Heroes, first installment on January 1, 1957 (so the very next day after Royal Blood finished), was 902 characters.
Return of the Condor Heroes, 1st installment, 719 characters
Return of the Condors' first installment, May 20, 1959, was even shorter, only 719 characters! A couple more pics (character count in the pic caption; make sure you're using the new reddit design for the pics to show up properly in the post, otherwise click the links to see the pics):
Smiling, Proud Wander, 602nd installment, 1092 characters
The Deer and the Cauldron, 1st installment, 813 characters.
These lengths were pretty typical for wuxia novel serializations during the 1950s-1970s. Since they were in newspapers, space was limited. Wuxia magazine installments were longer, but still not a complete chapter.
