MATCHLEN=`expr \`useradd -v\` : "1\.7"`
[ $MATCHLEN -eq 3 ] && UA_OPT=-o
useradd -c bla bla $UA_OPT bla bla

It will default to null if you don't set it; zero length.

The trickery with expr(1) concerns regular expression matching; it's
subject to debugging at the keyboard; it's about 97% right.  :-)
