The answer depends on how you implement it.

For example, for a given length of axle you can use different length hubs, short medium and long, which affect the axle by changing the amount of axle 'reinforced' by the hub.

But one can also affect the ride by the length of axle inside the hub itself. So if you have a 1030 axle and the axle finishes 10mm from the hub stop, then a 1040mm axle will go all the way to the hubstop. (the insert that stops the axle going all the way through the hub.)

Now you can play tunes by altering the bearing to hub distance by longer and shorter hubs and also the hubstop to axle distance by longer and shorter axles.

And you can muddle the tunes by fitting a shorter axle and a shorter hub so as not to make any difference at all.

And, as always, there are some people who swear they can tell the difference of which hub they use and others who say that they can't.

So the only answer is to know what you are testing for and go out and see if you can feel the difference on a stop watch.
