The length of a statement of purpose is dictated by the criteria of the programme and institution. Your purpose statement should be one – two pages long, written in a readable typeface like Times New Roman, with a font size of 11-12 points, depending on the application. Unless the university specifies differently, an SOP of 800-1000 words should suffice.
