In a properly marked gym, they'd be full lines from sideline to sideline.
The rule specifies alternative lines when the gym is shorter than 74 feet....and those lines should be 40 feet from the FC endline.
In the event they're not painted and the court is truly a very short court, I'd designate some marking on the court as the division line, even if it is not complete, with a word to the coaches and players that you'll only consider a violation regarding the line to have occurred if it is absolutely clear that they player stepped on/over the line or extended line.
The court you're talking about sounds like it was around 62' (25' to the top of the key plus 6' for the half circle....all times 2). That court definitely needs alternative backcourt lines.
