Yes, if you skip the purchase phase buy letting the AI buy for you then you would miss that and that's the only time you're given the option of changing game length.

Sometimes if I just want a challenge with a small force on a small map I'll let the AI purchase then fight with what's given. There's a much greater chance in reality of a commander fighing with what's available rather than with a carefully tailored , hand picked force
