If your answer is "well it depends how long my working week is going to be" then sobeit. You could ask at that stage but as a former Personnel Manager I wouldn't be very impressed. Better to get to interview to determine such things.
It's a bit like saying "I don't know how much money I'd expect until you tell me about the pension scheme - and by the way how many days holiday would I get". Its too early in the recruitment process to be asking sich things.
