You were close, SCX.

As stated by Meddler:

The Q is split into two phases, a charge period (roughly 1.5s) and a hold period (roughly 2.5s). The range and damage are maxed by the end of the charge period, as shown by an expanding range radius, filling channel bar and Varus himself pulling the bar completely back in game.

The distance at which the shot hits an enemy does not alter the damage.
