Is there ever a case where Length( S[n] ) = 2 ?

No. A character is a character even if it's a WideChar.
SizeOf(S[n]) might, though.
[...]
Is it actually possible in Delphi, for the number of Bytes in a string
to be different from its Length() ?

(obviously not WideString stuff)

No.

There doesn't seem to be a function that counts characters in an MBCS
string, but there is one, CharLength, that counts bytes in a character
in such a string. Type 'MBCS', press F1, read help (it's what I did).

The MBCS-related functions seem to fall into two groups: really simple
ones and WinAPI stubs. I get a definite impression that all this only
applies to oriental Windows, where windows-1252 is not the OS codepage.
