Default Servo extension

The wing in a 60-size build (GP Extra) I plan to build is long enough that the existing wire on the servo (for the ailerons; 11" wire) will not reach to the exit hole at the wing center (about 16" on the plans). I see two options:

1. A single extension which runs to the Rx. However, I will need to plug it in every time and I am worried about breaking a pin if I fat finger it one time and that's a $100 ouch.

2. Use two extensions. One to get to the outside of the wing; the other to get from Rx to the wing saddle area. Is there an issue with either total length or having too many connections?

What is best solution?
