Since you are going to have to cut off the broken edges of the pipe, I'd get creative and try and up flat, flat down or slight up down single fat barrel.  That way you could get some length out of it.

once i cut the cracks the rail should still be around 12ft

Is there enough wood?

its hard to tell, just be creative and have a good design before you start cutting wood.  try building with what you have but If you run out of wood or don't think the wood you have will fit into your plans you can always go buy a few 2x4's, there only 4 or 5 bucks for a 12ft.

I havnt really decided yet but now that i think of it 3ft sounds decent. I can always go scavenge for some more wood. There are loads of new houses being built right around my neighbour hood and they throw out loads of 2x4's

thats more than enough, just make sure you dont waste your wood, cut it appropriately so you dont have a lot of little pieces
