If I do not define a length will it adopt the length?

at the end of the UFCB you'll find (at times several) parameters.
One is the record size:
DCL DD IFCB-RECORD-ID      BIN(2) DEF(IFCB) POS(209) INIT(1);
DCL DD IFCB-RECORD-LENGTH BIN(2) DEF(IFCB) POS(211) INIT(132);
DCL DD IFCB-NO-MORE-PARMS BIN(2) DEF(IFCB) POS(213) INIT(32767);

Change the "132" above to "528", and remember to change the
INBUF CHAR(132) to CHAR(528) as well.
