Take off run/landing on new CVF

The Thales design for the new CVF shows a center line runway spanning the whole length of the ship. The gives a take off run of up to 950 ft length for a GR9 or F35. With a 25+ kt WOD could a Harrier achieve wingborne flight without the need for vectored thrust? I understand that a GR7 leaves Invincible's deck at about 90kts, what would be the result of the extra take off length on a CVF?

Similarly with a 950ft strip available does this make the a rolling landing an option for a higher bring back weight?
