Not feeling to well today, but looking quickly last night, (will use some  
string to check length when I'm not under the weather) I don't think it will 
be  an issue,  so even if I replaced all of the wires sans one or two it  
should help a lot.
Part of the issue I'm dealing with is radio interference, and old wires  
arcing, so they need to go, and I also have three used sets with which to 
pilfer  the longer one if ness....assuming they are in better shape. 
I think I can deal with that in order to save 150+ bucks (found VW 16V  
wires for 17.99 from RockAuto).

I don't think that'll work. Remember, two of the plug wires from each  
distributor go to the bank of cylinders on the opposite side. Them's some  
looong plug wires!
