You're doing it backwards by the sounds of it, you compress the leg and measure the distance downward from the top to the surface of the oil

No, you measure from top of fork *down* to oil level.

I am thinking it means air gap, the top of the cartridge needs to be submerged and I reckon the cartridge body is longer than 100mm.
Also everybody measures fork oil in terms of air gap. Measure air gap from top down with the leg fully compressed.

That would be rather harsh!
I am at about 130mm on SRAD 600 fork. You probably need smaller gap for USD fork considering tube size difference.
