You can change the length if you wish, However changing the length of the cable through the floor will change the amount of adjustment of the cable which comes off the other end of the lever. It's all just a simple lever setup which you can manipulate within reason to suit you. If you are still having trouble adjusting your hand brake I suggest you start by setting the first cable length at 80mm. Set the next cable at full length and then go to the rear brakes and adjust them. 1 reason for the brakes grabbing and then becoming loose when you rotate them is they aren't settled in after adjusting and another is brake drums wear "out of round" which can be fixed by having the drums machined. It costs about $10 a drum and most good tyre shops will do it. I recomend doing it to the front drums at least as it reduces front end vibrations when the brakes are applied. good luck
