7 million google hits, mostly not talking about a platoon sergeant (排長) I imagine

Editor: 排长龙 is a common collocation, but not a "fixed expression".
It's better to understand it as 排(to line up) + 长龙([in] a long queue).

Related expressions include ~
排了一条长龙
汽车排成了长龙
排起了长龙
大排长龙
买午饭的长龙
Diff:
# 排長龍 排长龙 [pai2 chang2 long2] /to form long lines/(figuratively) to line up around the block/
+ 長龍 长龙 [chang2 long2] /long queue/long line (of cars, people etc)/
