I know that combat is going to be longer than in HoI2, but what's a good example of the length? Given the size of the provinces, it seems like a few days should be the minimum, and some could go on for weeks.

It really depends on a lot of factors, like the size of the battle - 1 div vs 1 div are still rather quick fights, but as soon as forces grow the battle time drags on.
The combat speed has been increased a bit by the balance team.
So i would think that around 3-7 days should be a current standard battle.

Cool, thanks for the response! I'm glad to see they are truly longer. It just always turned me off to see battles that were over within an hour, and the rest of the time was spent with one army marching forward, and the other retreating.
Battle intensity is also now moddable by changing a value in misc.txt, so another answer would be "as long as you want"! With fresh reinforcements being fed in by both sides, I have seen one fight go on for over 20 days, but that is exceptional - as Lennartos says, around 4-5 days is fairly typical for a reasonably big fight. It depends on terrain, weather, force size, degree of air support and unit types though, among other things.
