Yes, but there is a difference between wielding two longswords in one hand and two long daggers in one hand.

Look at the image. Does it really look like her scissors are more than 50cm in total length? The standard swords can be whatever size you like, as florentine is an actual sword wielding style composed of wielding two standard sized swords, one in each hand. But the pincer swords would catch each other up if they're too long, unless you went for a style where there is no crossover between the effective area of attacks of the pincer-swords. And that would leave you with a weak spot between the two areas.

Have standard sized swords for the florentine style if you like, that's not the hassle. But the pincer swords are the wrong shape and fighting style to be any longer than the girl in the pictures wields them, really.
