Unfortunately we do not have complete bridle specs; furthermore as Simon mentioned bridles will stretch a little, but usually they end up just snapping at the end of their life span. So checking for signs of fraying or severe wear/tear is more important than actual stretching.
If you are worried about bridle stretch, measure section lengths between both sides. If each bridle has relatively similar measurements (+ or - 2cm), you should be fine. Bridle stretch is normal; think of it like breaking in a pair of shoes. As the canopy material stretches a little, so too do the bridles. This usually does not impact kite performance however, and the general rule is 'if the kite flies well, the bridles are in tune.'
Hope this helps,
