Code is hundreds to many thousands of lines. A line of code is analogous to one color pixel in digital art.

Depends on which lines of code.

I have written projects where I'd consider a handful of lines of code to be the core central tenant of the entire project that everything else is built up around. Copy those lines and everything else is scaffolding that falls out naturally from the development process.

but one line similar code is easier to find. this is because copilot work in one line/small function level.
