The Area is not equal to the Entropy, it's only proportional. I think we agree about that.

From there you deduct in the last paragraph that "Length = Entropy". I guess you want to use the radius or diameter of the black hole (and ignore a few more numerical constants). It doesn't make any sense, they aren't equal, they aren't proportional.

The first error is that at some point you use that the volume is "equal" (proportional?) to the entropy, but this relation is wrong.

The second error is that in "(Area x Length) = Entropy" you can replace Area by Length^2, and get Length^3 = Entropy. You say that "we can drop the invariants" and you drop the exponent 3, and you get "Length = Entropy", but now you are removing and exponent, not a multiplicative constant. So the "=" is not "equal", is not "proportional", it is only "somewhat related".
