[TowerTalk] Triex LM470 Recabling question

I've ordered and received the replacement cable from Tashjian the cables for my lm470.  Only problem is my lm470 cable was one long piece whereas the ones Tashjian sent are multiple pieces for each section.  My question to those who have worked on these towers is will the multiple cables work with the older 470?  I'm not sure where one would tie off each cable to the previous section.  My cable was one long cable all interacting with each section simultaniously.  Tashjian says it will work but how or where do the cables get tied off then?  Is there an advantage to using multiple cables as opposed to one long cable?  I understand the newer cables means the tower won't nest down quite as far but other than that what are the differences or advantages to using multiple cables if any?
Thanks
