Does length matter with Toslink cables

I have read the threads on toslink cable recommendations. I would like to know if length matters with Toslink cables? I am down to Nordost WLG, WireWorld SuperNova 3+ or 5+ and Van Den Hul Optocoupler toslink cables at the $200 and below price point. Your recommedations would be helpful.

Happy Listening.

I use the Supernovs 5+. It is better than the 3+. I have not heard the VanDen Hul.

Eldartford--I agree, but also believe commercial fibre typically uses lasers, rather than cheap LEDs, and also use repeaters for longer runs... May not be completely apples to apples.
