This text is about stage design, but I'm not sure what to say for Fusszahl.
"Hier finden unsere Rahmen in den Größen 1 m x 1 m bis 1 m x 6 m ihre größte Spielwiese. Denn unser System 16 2/3 kann bei 4 m Spannweite frei tragend immer noch 250 kg/m2 tragen. Bei entsprechender Fußzahl können sogar 1500 kg/m2 erreicht werden."
Danke!

length, dimensions
My guess would be 'length', with 'dimensions' as a vaguer alternative.
This guess is based on googling, which indicates that (aside from the literal meaning 'the number of feet an object (such as a table) has'), Fußzahl is most commonly used to refer to the footage markers on films or the lengths of organ pipes.
