Hmmm..for me, if I can, I'd rather have the weights closer upwards toward the scope (maintaining balance the whole time naturally). And if it's a retractable shaft, I shorten that too. My thinking is to reduce the duration of the vibration where possible - may it be someone accidentally brushing the counterweights/shaft whilst walking by, or wind, etc.
So if I can, I actually rather have extra counterweights with a shorter shaft, than to have fewer counterweights with longer shaft.
