I think their length and sword clsas are more of a guideline... not strict at all, since you have the very adult-looking and tall Nikkari as a Wakizashi, and Hotarumaru as an Oodachi. Maybe they have other factors in their designs or backstories which they decided to make them tall/short for.

Interesting to note, is that Hijikata Toshizou himself was 168 cm tall, and it's pretty clear that there are many aspects of Izuminokami that were inspired by his master.
