The UV space is a perfect square by default. The coordinates run from 0 to 1 in with and the same in height.

If your wall is 100 meters (or feet) wide and only 2 meters high then won't get the right proportions if you fit it into the square UV window. Take some measurments in your scene and scale the template accordingly. :)
