Hi Brian,
Darrin is correct. The FxTimingAPI allows to to query the duration of
your item in the timeline, but we don't currently provide a way for
you to change the duration.
In case it helps, the user can make filters shorter than the clips
they are applied to in Final Cut, as well (but not longer). Almost
nobody knows this is possible, but you can do it by dragging in the
time bar in the Filters tab.

I'm writing an FxGenerator that has a Reference Image parameter.
When the user sets this parameter, I'd like my plugin
to automatically change it's duration to match the
duration of their Reference Image clip.
Is there a way to do this?
If so, how?
No, there's no way to do that. It sounds like what you actually want
is a filter. It will always be the length of the item to which it is
applied by default. (In Motion you can make it longer or shorter by
dragging the ends of the filter item in the timeline.)
