My dipstick tube broke off. I found another tube that was supposed to be a Toronado tube but it is only 20 inches long and mine is 20 1/2 can anyone tell me what different length the oldsmobile tubes came in?

Your question prompted me to go out and measure mine since I used a Mondello chrome replacement. I found they were both about 12" from the top of the dipstick to the point where it enters the motor which is the real reference point that matters from the perspective of measuring oil level.
Thus I can safely say that the Mondello part will work (scroll down page to find it):
