I may need to reposition the levers themselves, so I don't mind if I need to recable, too.
The cables look tense and constricted. I would loosen them up and let them loop more gently to the cable stops. This would result in some small overlap, like you mentioned. Your current setup looks like it will work while riding in a straight line, but I suspect sloppy shifting while the bars are turned.
