The better turnbuckle barrels have a witness hole in them. As long as the threads engage enough that you can't see all the way through the hole or poke a piece of safety wire through them you have enough threaded in.
According to this site you should have no more than three threads showing which looks about right to me. http://www.experimentalaircraft.info/articles/aircraft-building-5.php If you are short you can buy longer ends. Hopefully one end is a fork or something other than a ring end with a cable swaged so you can change it. Not sure if you can buy longer barrels or not, but I think I have seen them in different lengths. Best place I know for buying both complete turnbuckles and the separate parts is B&B Aircraft Supplies in KS. If you are not sure of exactly what you need call there and talk to Joe Brull. He is very helpful.
