What I was wondering is if I use this for antenna wire, will the
capacitance between the wires affect the length. I would short the wires
together at each end.

The effect is not capacitive, but the multiple conductors will VERY slightly "lengthen" the antenna by virtue of the larger conductor size and the effect of the insulation as compared to a single small bare wire.
