Cell E-58 contains an estimate of the total length of the curve. It should be
between about 120 and 150. When I make hoses, I keep a few bricks, plates,
1x1 brick w/ headlight, 1x1 plate with horizontal studs, etc and a hose so I
have a good model to work from. Otherwise it's pretty hard to guess where the
hose will go. And you're right, the shape would be somewhat dependent on how
and how much the hose has be flexed before. Mostly it's just important to
make sure the hose isn't sticking through other bricks in the model.
