to balance the books
Hello,
I really don't understand this at all...
Could they mean that investments were made in order to balance the books?
mettre toutes les lignes dans la même longueur = align all the accounting records (balance them)
I hope this helps...(but, I am probably way off...)

OK, then length would refer to the production lines.
