Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

There's a couple of millimiters room on either side of the "perfect" length so 1mm isn't going to make a difference unless your measurement was already off and it becomes 1mm too far. IMO most spoke calculators tend to give results on the short side anyway, so I'm fairly sure you'll come out OK, possibly even better off than if you hadn't made the mistake.
