No mention is made of how long the H&CR station will be - seems to me
that making it seven (or eight!) cars instead of six would be useful
if/when the new SSL stock comes on the scene (this is dependent on how
easily Hammersmith station can be modified). Even if the trains will
never be longer, having a platform bigger than your train makes the
T/Op's life much less stressful.

I suppose this is a replacement for White City station, which closed
following a fire in 1959.

No. The White City station that closed following a fire in 1959 was on
the Central Line. The new station is on the Hammersmith and City - so it
is in no way a replacement.
