  Equal lengths and just snake it. One day you might need them to be equal.

  I'd order them the same length personally. Some would say to snake the excess instead of coiling. Our resident engineer did some testing with coiling and found no difference, but it certainly wouldn't hurt to snake it instead.

  I have the exact same problem w/ my left 2B being about 7' away and the right side side being maybe a foot w/ excess for cleaning and not to have any strain on the cables. Redoing the i/c with the Speak-On-Neutrik connectors also made longer than I needed. Both lengths to speakers are equal 10' and did the snake layering thing behind my console to conceal excess. Coincidentally I also did the Blue Jean cable thing w/ 12 gu Belden white. Most have seen this just note how close the right side is to rack and amp.
