I've noticed it seems to happen both ways. It's interesting how english 
words get translated into their katakana alphabet. I've seen that 
occasionally end up longer than the original spelling because of 
approximating certain sounds and sound combinations that they don't have. 
And then when that katakana gets written in our english/roman letters, it's 
roughly twice as long as the katakana. Its been far too long since I've 
studied it though, so I can't really think of a good example (probably 
something with a lot of consecutive consonants). I do love the language 
though (even though I understand very little of it).
