The match length is not stored, but the other info can be retrieved with 
the --list option like this:

$ lzip -lvv linux-libre-3.12.5-gnu-mm.tar.lz
   dict   memb  trail    uncompressed      compressed   saved  name

'-l'
'--list'
     Print the uncompressed size, compressed size and percentage saved
     of the specified files. Trailing data are ignored. The values
     produced are correct even for multimember files. If more than one
     file is given, a final line containing the cumulative sizes is
     printed. With '-v', the dictionary size, the number of members in
     the file, and the amount of trailing data (if any) are also
     printed. With '-vv', the positions and sizes of each member in
     multimember files are also printed. '-lq' can be used to verify
     quickly (without decompressing) the structural integrity of the
     specified files. (Use '--test' to verify the data integrity).
     '-alq' additionally verifies that none of the specified files
     contain trailing data.


Best regards,
Antonio.
