Default Brake line confusion and maybe some clutch cable help

So I put sportster mini apes on in place of my stock bars. Approximately 2" higher. So I had also ordered 4+ brake line. Stainless steel braided line from Dennis Kirk. It is still way to short and other guys were able to use the stock brake line by bending the metal line straight. So anyway sent it back for a 10+. That should work easy. I'm also going to need a new clutch cable. It don't see all that short but it won't stay in the clips and when I turn it hard to the right it definitely stretches it some. So I was going to just go 2+ but with my experience with the brake maybe I should go 4 or even 6+ ?

I guess I didn't take into account they are also wider
