In the AAF SDK, when a Component is added to a
Sequence, the Length of the Sequence is updated.
However, if a Sequence contains another Sequence and a
Component is added to the child Sequence, the Length of
the parent Sequence is not updated. It is probably
true that when the length of any Component is updated,
its parent Sequence's Length property is not updated.
This may be known and intended, but, it may not.

    This is not a bug - so it is being treated as a feature
    request. The SDK does not, at this time, attempt to
    maintain consistent lengths within nested sequences.

    There are many ways to use the SDK to create invalid AAF
    files, including the steps described in the summary.
