Pretty expensive for us canucks with shipping and exchange, it worked out to $40-some bucks

Yeah its a fairly flexible steel cable, there shouldnt be any reason you cant replace the cable with a longer one, as long as its the same diameter. Because of the way the sleeve on the loops work, anything bigger will be a problem.
The main cable is 120cm long, obviously intended to be cut in half for the 2 cables, and i'd guess you'd lose around 3cm from each end at the loop.
