It's definitely shorter, so I'd say Ozpin adjusted it to accomodate his new stature. Not to mention he needs it that length since his new body is not fully combat-trained.

As for it's true purpose, I'm guessing it's the actual key to the Relic Chamber in Beacon. As long as he holds it, Salem will never get the Relic of Choice. Something like this anyway.
