unless you're trying to solve a problem graphically, drawing to scale is not important. Just label the vectors appropriately; the magnitudes will give an approximation of the lengths. The calculations don't depend on how accurately you draw the picture.
Naturally, if one vector has magnitude 5 and another has magnitude 10, I'd expect the 10 vector to be drawn about twice as long as the 5 vector.
