I tend to choose the best-ranked page nd examine both their formatting and the subjects which are not covered by their webpage but not by mine. If the objective is the same, then it will be more effective to give ex or work on weaknesses than use keyword excessively.
Content or Intent Match for Ranking Page

I usually look at the search results first. If the top-ranking pages are covering different topics or answering a different question than yours, it's probably an intent mismatch rather than a content length issue. I also check whether the page fully answers what searchers are looking for. Sometimes, restructuring the content or making the answer more relevant can help more than simply adding extra words.

For me, it depends on the keyword. Some topics need a detailed guide, while others only need a simple answer.

i focus on whether the page answers the user's main question clearly. more words don't always mean more value

I would review the ranking pages and see if they are meeting user search expectations and then add words from there if necessary adding words to make a page longer might not do anything for a page that is already effectively covering the topic at hand
