Nope. If you're trying to recover bits from a signal which is either high or low, and the signal stays high for a long time, unless your clocks are perfect (they won't be) you won't be able to tell just how many bits were in that long period of "high"s.

You're generally right, but I wasn't talking about the length of signals.

I was talking about if long period of "high" can be distinguished from long period of "low"--DC offsets.
