The time management thing is very real as pointed out by Tupac and Cogito, roughly you have about 35-40 mins for every 20 marks question. I generally wrote 1.5-3.0 pages (sides) for 20 marks questions and made good diagrams/maps wherever the need was felt. However, I will reiterate again that doing justice with the question is paramount under a limited time, so you have to include the core points and leave out the other things that could be related.

And 2015 is probably going to be the end of my CSS endeavour. I have still an attempt left, but I don't intend to use it.
Did you give the exam in previous years? May I ask why you are not interested in another attempt?

Where exactly does the need to include diagrams, flow charts and tables arise? Which papers? I am certain about Economics and that too Paper-1 but where else? Maybe General Science...but where else? And wouldn't flow charts serve the same purpose if I write something as...

(ii)

...after clearly mentioning that each of the points leads to the one after ?

Apart from English papers, almost every other subject has to do with diagrams/maps/flowcharts etc. I made maps/diagrams in Geography, Current Affairs, Pak Affairs, EDS and Psychology. Don't forget to learn how to draw World and Pakistan's map, they can be extremely useful in CA, Geography, PA and EDS. Latest subjects like Town Planning & Urban Management, Environmental Sciences and IR will also require maps/diagrams. I am not saying these things are absolutely necessary but they greatly improve the quality of your work and shows your conceptual grasp of things.

I attempted in 2013, while I was in final year MBBS, upon my father's insistence, with a 10-day prep! I couldn't clear the essay (mainly because I didn't know what kind of a structure examiners demanded).

I am not interested in another attempt because the pattern has changed, and I simply don't have the time on my hands which the prep requires--being busy with the post-grad. training exam preparation and all that.

Length matters buddy. To be honest with you, length is an issue that most of the students are bothered about. Papers can to any kind of teacher. Some like lengthy explanations other short and precise. Even you can be penalized for writing more if your paper is checked by the mentality of short and precise writing lover.
so i would suggest you should then write more but there should be quality in ti. if you think that there is no quality the move to the next question.
Best of Luck.
