Same as above really 2 to 3 threads is fine.
The only problem with cutting a bolt down is losing the bzp protection. Touching the end of the bolt up with some zinc rich paint or spray would help to stop the orange blight
It's worth buying good quality stuff to. Look for paint with a high zinc content (normally the more silver it looks the less zinc it contains).
I guess at the end of the day most of the bolts will be covered in nut covers anyway.
