The reason why I'm asking is just that I'm wondering if a 20 long gallon tank would be enough for a female L. parahybana.

More than enough. Some might even say it’s too big. I’ve seen them thrive in less than half of that.

That will work, but as has been said, a tank half that size (length and height) would work just as well

It looks ok size wise.
I will swap that mesh lid to drilled acrilic.Adult can chew trough it easy.
My 7+ inch LP has been nightmare for trying to escape.She was housed in a komodo plastic enclosure 40x29x24.5 cm and pushed the lid bowing it in the middle and was half the way out when I caught her.Had to rehouse her in 45x45x30 exo terra with mod on the lid with acrylic.
She is always chewing on vents and testing the enclosure she is in.
Regards Konstantin
