A model of a clean two-band s-wave superconductor with cylindrical Fermi surfaces, different Fermi velocities v(1),(2), and a general 2x2 coupling matrix V-alpha beta is used to study the order parameter distribution in vortex lattices. The Eilenberger weak coupling formalism is used to calculate numerically the spatial distributions of the pairing amplitudes Delta(1) and Delta(2) of the two bands for vortices parallel to the Fermi cylinders. For generic values of the interband coupling V-12, it is shown that, independently of the couplings V-alpha beta, of the ratio v(1)/v(2), of the temperature, and the applied field, the length scales of spatial variation of Delta(1) and of Delta(2) are the same within the accuracy of our calculations. The only exception from this single length-scale behavior is found for V-12 << V-11, i.e., for nearly decoupled bands.
