   Yeah, go for it! If you look around in .trains and .technic you’ll find lots of MOCs with “non-standard” lengths of tubing. In fact, Lego fully condones the cutting of tubing (at least the pneumatic kind), as kits are supplied with a single length of tubing and the user is expected to cut it to length per the instructions. How’s that for rationalizing... :D

Ah, this is the thing. Cutting PNEUMATIC tubing is allowed, as Lego themselves advocated it from the very first pneumatic sets, and gave you cutting guides. Cutting FLEX tubing isn’t, as they always supplied it in correct lengths.

So, you’re alright, but Larry’s now an outcast. ;-)

Sez YOU!

How do you think LEGO gets it to be the right length??? >:-)
