Yes, but not all of them have the same spear lenght which can get very annoying. Just compare the Epileptikoi Hoplitai with the Hoplitai Haploi and you'll notice a difference in lenght.

Some have way to long spears, having 3 spear rows sticking out of the front line and with spears sticking into the ground.

For the Syracusian Hoplites having those long spears may be Historical but for the others it isn't, and if it is then its weird that not all Hoplites have it.
