Yes same here, I never buy extensions I cut the servos lead new or not , in two and cut a custom length with new heavier gauge servo wire to splice into it. Fifty foot rolls are not that expensive.

The major advantage beside losses from excessive lengths of servo wires is reducing an excessive unneeded number of plugs. The plugs from say ailerons that are removed all the time for transport tend to be self cleaning and less resistance but hidden or buried plugs that are never removed can become corroded and cause potential problems.
