If the problem is interpreted as you describe (What is the average length of all the line segments that could be packed into a 1" square at once without overlapping?), there would be no meaningful answer, since infinite line segments of any length l < sqrt(2)" could be fit within the square, as line segments have no thickness thus can be packed infinitely densely.
