Hi Jim, Thanks for the reply.
I just purchased the Grounding and Bonding book Saturday and have been
going through it. I found your material about 6 months ago and I've been
studying it since then. That is what impelled me to clean up my shack
and put in a SPG. I'm not having any RFI issues in general. I just want
to put in an effective ground system for Lightning, AC and RF.
The cable length question is more of a preemptive strike. Seems there is
always a cable somewhere to deal with.
Thank you so much for all your efforts in this group, and the materials
that you have made available to all of us.

Do NOT cut power cables short -- if the gear is noisy, you may need to
use the extra length to wind ferrite chokes. Bonding cables SHOULD be
short.
