Did you realy mean ;)
"non-periodic data streams, does having a longer sampling length improve phase resolution"
If it is non periodic it won't have a phase anyway, only correlation intervals.... clearly an area riddled with inconsistent terminology and expectations....
You can have alias free sampling, at least theoretically [the method uses the fact that there are two infinities (countable & uncountable) which follow the rule: all infinities are equal but some are more equal than others]

This is analogous to the use of a phase-sampled o-scope at limited
bandwidth to get higher accuracy phase-measurements on periodic signals by
averaging the signal. But it doesn't replace an o-scope with a higher
speed digitizer to capture a non-periodic (or single-shot transient) signal
- which will be Nyquist limited. If the data is periodic then longer
sample lengths permit a type of averaging which improves phase
resolution. For a cross-correlation on non-periodic data streams, does
having a longer sampling length improve phase resolution?
