Al, Well you put much more thought into that than I would ever have ever dreamed of. Kudos! The cable length did catch my eye as being atypical to say the least.
I was merely trying to put the OP's question in relationship to CTsooner's 04-29-15 post.
In that re: the CTsooners concern about keeping time alignment between all frequencies: the folks at Alpha-Core (Goertz) once told me that they used Thiel loudspeakers. Thiel used to recommend the Goertz cables. Of course when Jim Thiel was still alive and in charge at Thiel, time alignment was one of his priorities.
I have found the Goertz MI cables to work best with my Thiels so far. I have not heard the Goertz cables with Vandersteens (though I've heard many different Vandy's, many times, in many different systems and in many different rooms. Though only speculation, I would think the Goertz speakers cables would work especially well with Vandersteens. Many others that have tried the pairing seem to agree.
Alpha-Core offers a generous return policy, I'd suggest the OP give them a try.
