Is this meaning to say that a verifier can't reject a mail if the
length mis-matches?

Not at all. The verifier can reject mail for any reason at all. What the proposal does is take talk of rejecting the message out of the DKIM document.

I also don't know the context this is in. Is it only relevant
if a verify is checking l= or in all cases?

Both, kind of. There appears to be little support in the WG for us talking about when a message should and should not be rejected, so removing the rejection talk from l= is a good thing. People will certainly write documents about how to decide when to reject DKIM-signed mail, just as they write documents about when to reject spam.
