Which length description are you looking for?:

5

5,2,3
I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'clear' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'toy bags in' is the wordplay.
'toy bags' becomes 'pla' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'pla'+'in'='PLAIN'

'supermarket very' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for plain that I've seen before include "Straightforward" , "stretch of level land" , "Uncomplicated" , "Simple - flatland" , "lament" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
