The logic seems wrong to me, it will print basically every line because some of the conditions will be true for all lines.

Perhaps this is closer to what you want.

Code:
awk '/^1010/ { if (length($0)==132) next }
/^9142/ { if (length ($0) == 41) next }
/^1011/ { if (length ($0) == 250) next }
/^9999/ { if (length ($0) == 70) next }
/^4949/ { if (length ($0) == 152) next }
{ print NF }' filename >/tmp/file_out
