A knowledgeable guy here with a screen name starting with g and ending with 4 uses collapsed length, that's what I went with.
I believe it's an "either/or" type thing. Inherently a barrel length of less than 16" is considered a SBR. But I suppose in a bullpup design like the P90, Aug, Tavor, et al., one could feasibly have a 16" barrel but with an overall length of 26" or less. I understand with the current design of these carbines, that is not the case, but I think you can see the possibility.
