I respectfully disagree with your premise as well as your conclusion. Although songs did get to be 3 ½ minutes long, it came from a number of factors, but mostly sheet music. This is all covered at length in my book (chap 3 & 4):

It is also available on amazon.com at:

The player piano and its 3/1/2 minute length was a result of many things. Unfortunately I would not attribute it to the physical charastics of the player piano.
Sorry about that:
