Make sure it all fits together and that everything feels absolutely necessary. If it doesn't feel necessary than cut it out. Particularly in regards to character backgrounds. It's fine to feed pieces of character background throughout a story, but no one is going care about something like 5 paragraphs of Jimmy doing volunteer work at the soup kitchen because he's a good person. All in all, just make sure the length is needed and that it isn't long for the sake of it being long :D
