Coupe and hatch are the same. Right down to the part number.
The sedan skirts are THE SAME LENGTH. They're a little different from the coupe/hatch ones though.
Okay, I really wish I had photos for this because it's weird to explain.
Say you open the rear door on a sedan. Look down at the top of the sideskirt. It's flat all the way across, right? No gaps, nothing.
Okay, if you put a coupe/hatch sideskirt on a sedan and look in the same place, there will be a gap. The coupe/hatch sideskirts are cut differently along the top of the sideskirt, where it mounts against the underside of the body of the car.
If you check specs you'll also notice that coupes, hatches and sedans all have the exact same wheelbase, so there is really no reason for them to be any different lengths. I believe I compared measurements with a sedan owner once before too.

the 4dr side skirts adapt to having both doors that open while the hatch and coupe allow for only having 2drs opening ........ more or less there will be a gap on the 4dr ones if not used on a 4dr
