There are a few possibilities for this:

Which length description are you looking for?:

4 6

2,4

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'tense' is the first definition.
(on edge can mean tense or stressed)

'nervous' is the second definition.
(on edge can mean nervous or tense)

(Other definitions for on edge that I've seen before include "Tense and irritable, very nervous" , "'Tense, nervous (2,4)'" , "Tense and irritable, with nerves stretched" , "Apprehensive" , "Nervously excited" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Mirror.
