Hans,
Yes, you may shorten the wire, it is the number of turns that count, not
the wire length.
However, it is usually easier to just spread the turns out until it
tightens up a bit.

On the KAT2 a number of toroid cores are prepared and installed.
L1 and L2 are to be prepared with an extremely exact length of solid hookup
wire.
The assembly instruction mentions that toroid cores "remain somewhat loose"
within the winding.
That is to put it mildly. They act like a baby's rattle. Do they really have to
be like that, or may you shorten the
length of the hook-up wire without operating deficiencies.?
