It seems like I could get a better overlap at either spot by wrapping from the brake lever toward the end, but then I'll need to finish the ends - can't just tuck them in under a chrome spring plug. I have some white heat-shrink tubing for that, but wrapping from the end towards the brake lever would solve it, too.
As others have mentioned- tape the cables in place- I use electrical tape.

As for where to have the cable exit... I always think the best way is with the most shallow bends possible in the way you want your cable to go.
