There is no single, non-standard measure. One possibility is a span: a ball point pen could be around 0.6 to 0.8 spans - depending on the pen and your hand.

What is the advantages and disadvantages of non-standard unit measurement long answer?

One advantage of non-standard units is that people who are familiar with that unit may be better able to undertand it. If I said someone was as tall as my shoulder, then anyone who knew me would know what I meant - and would be able to visualise the other person's height. However, that statement is totally useless to you since you don't know how tall I am. If, on the other hand, I said that someone was 160 centimetres tall almost anyone (except maybe in the US) would know what that meant. And even if they did not, they could get a measuring tape, in cm, and figure out what that meant.
