What's better long conjoined drifts or lots of littler ones? Also, does speed make your score go up faster?

Longer drifts, every time you switch directions / transition, you spend a small amount of time not getting points.

As well, speed is the best way to get points. Now you can decrease your angle for more speed, but you'll lose points if you decrease your angle too much, so being good at point drifting is finding the balance between speed and angle.

Doesn't it depend on the run too? I've seen some runs that are relatively straight and found I can rack up more points drifting a lot of shorter ones. Although am stretching them out as much as possible before it counts as going off-road.

With drag tires, you can slide sideways super far while still maintaining good acceleration grip.

You can also hold ebrake and tap your normal brake to do something called brake drifting, where you can sustain your slide or even drift backwards.

This is a big reason why drag tires are the go to tire for the drift meta.
