more than just the length of the coax?

There's no inductance contributed to the signal being carried, because the magnetic field from the inner conductor is exactly cancelled by the inductance of the current in the shield. Just like a bifilar winding on a non-inductive wirewound resistor.

now, for the current on the *outside* of the coax, yep there's inductance a-plenty.
