"Very Good" is longer than "Masterpiece" and has just 17 votes.

Ah yes, this again. This one seems to come up quite regularly. The rating system uses a weighted system when tallying those rating votes. If someone just spams masterpiece or worst ever for then their vote carries less weight than someone with a more balanced rating history. So while the number will tell you how many actual votes a rating received, the bar demonstrates how those ratings add up compared to others through a weighted estimate.
