I think the 18 inch limitation was more of a factor in the 40 conductor cable. The new 80 conductor cable provides more insulation allowing for a longer cable length.
The drives have to be set side by side next to each other in order to fit in the box. The problem is that since the drives are set side by side I need a long distance between the two drive connectors. When I look at longer cables they seem to only get longer from the mobo connector to the first drive connector, allowing you to install the drives farther away from the mobo. This is precisely not my problem. The two drives are very close to the motherboard but because of the way they are stacked the drives are far away from each other. The only solution I see is to reverse the way the cable is connected, that would give me perfect length for everything. I just don't know if it would work.
