The phrase "average intron length" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or academic contexts, particularly in genetics or molecular biology, to refer to the typical size of introns within a given set of genes.
Example: "The study revealed that the average intron length in the examined species was significantly longer than previously reported."
Alternatives: "mean intron size" or "typical intron length".

The intron density and average intron length is consistent with that observed in other basidiomycetes.
For example in the human genome the average intron length is 5.5 kb, which is considerably larger than 152 bp of the average intron length of Arabidopsis genes [8].
Analyses of rice and Arabidopsis genomes have revealed that highly expressed genes not only contain more introns but the average intron length and primary transcript length also increase with increasing expression [37].
Overall, the average intron length was 659 bp.
Average intron length also shows a significant trend with first intron length (P < 0.0001).
Based on this EST-genome sequence alignment, the average intron length was estimated as 52 bp.
3. The authors look at the first intron length, and at the average intron length.
I think that in the context of the study, total intron length is more relevant than average intron length.
The UTR length, average intron length and protein length for each transcript were also calculated or extracted from the annotations.
The best combination of variables were average intron length and first intron length (P < 0.0001, r = - 0.9238).
For each gene, total gene length, protein length, first intron length and average intron length were determined.
