Rest assured it will not come to that! An extra 6m length at most. Otherwise all of the wrongly cut tubes get used up a bit further down the line. The last major area fabricated out of 25 mm tubes is the rear suspension cage, and it is made up out of 15 or so tubes 20, 30, and 40 cm long. Eats up all the offcuts you have left. I used all the shorter ones for practicing my welding and letting friends have a go with the welder.
