This seems like a lot...

??
max MTOW currently sits at ~575t ( the diagram goes to ~~635t )
if you feed that into the diagram FIGURE-3-3-1-991-008-A01 ( GP7200 ) you require slightly more than 3000m.
With no engine out mishap real take off distance will be (quite a bit) shorter.
( and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airbus_A3 ... ifications says 3000m )
